Albert Breer appeared on FOX Sports Radio this morning.

Drafting QBs

In discussing teams drafting QBs high, with none of the top four guys eligible for the Senior Bowl, no combine, and no private workouts, teams will get to see Wilson, Fields, and Lance throw live one time -- the pro day. Drafting a quarterback in the top 10 essentially ties the GM and coach's jobs to that QB. Will GMs be comfortable betting their jobs on a guy they've seen throw live one time? 

He also feels teams are over analyzing Fields and that in the coming weeks Fields might once again jump Wilson on some team's draft board.

Bridgewater nugget

Breer expressed a high level of skepticism that the recent story about the 49ers interest in Bridgewater had any validity to it. 

Watson

After talking to several people who know Casserio well, Breer believes that if Watson is traded, it will happen suddenly and quietly. "We'll wake up one morning, and hear he's been working all night and now the trade is done." He also said that if anyone tells you they know how it will play out between Watson and and the Texans (trade/sit/play), they're lying to you.

I will try to update this thread later when the audio is available.

Don't get Breer's thinking on Watson happening "suddenly and quietly".  Sure, the deal will be agreed to suddenly, but it's been anything but sudden and quiet.  If the Texans don't have Plan A, B, C, D, etc. thought of by now, that organization truly is more worthless than what it's shown.

Like I have screamed from the beginning, we should stay at 8 and see who falls.  No doubt Lance will be there and maybe even Wilson or Fields as well.

The Huddle will crash forever if we actually woke up to news of a Watson trade.

I have a bottle of champagne cooling in the pantry--and I have a suicide note for my wife and kids in the safe---both anticipating the Watson news.

(kidding--I would like Watson, but the expected cost is turning me away from it)  I would rather be the team that drafts and develops its QB of the future. )

From the typical fan who said that a lot of teams are going to regret drafting Wilson......🤣

Except that's not what he said...

Breer said that as far as the final outcome, i.e. whether he's traded, sits or decides to play, nobody knows what will happen.

He believes however that if the outcome is him being traded, it will happen quickly and suddenly.

A similar sentiment was posted in one of his prior MMQB columns.

Yeah I'd prefer a rookie (Fields ideally) but I'm not adamantly against going for Watson, just depends on the price. If we do make the trade, even if we pay way more than I'd like, I'd still be absolutely pumped and excited for the future having an elite QB here and I'd just have to hope Rhule and Fits can make it work to build around him with less assets. Either way the meltdown here on both sides would be a sight to see...

      Not sure how much he was a long term piece of this team.   Sucks to not have him as part of the rotation.   Looks like it's Lee Hunter time.

      I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.
