We offered 30 first round picks and 10 3rd rounders??????!!!!

If the new reports are true, it seems they offered the most in terms of players/picks(6th overall was worth more than the whole saints draft). Just when Tepper had to reach for his piggy bank, he didnt......Im shocked. Craziest off-season evar

We offered the most but Watson wasn't interested. That's both sad and hilarious.

Shows how much Tepper doesn't know what he is doing.

He didn't care where he went, he wanted that fully guaranteed contract and no one was willing to give it except the Browns. 

Which i still don't understand.  If we considered him a franchise QB, I don't understand why we wouldn't fully guarantee those years.  But thats above my pay grade.

I’m actually proud tepper had that “draw a line in the sand” moment, the demands are as if we were trading for prime Tom Brady or Rodgers without the red flags 

Watson for how talented he is still poses red flags on and off the field, shout-out to the browns for making sure he didn’t land in the nfc south

I was thinking about this while working out actually. It's probably bc if it turns out that Watson was just okay, and never returns to form... you have to eat that contract and the loss of the draft picks over a 4 year period. It turns your franchise into absolute paria. 

At least if he sucked, you could swallow the picks and move on... but if you had to pay him while he sucked (See Darnold) thats franchise destroying.

    • You could say that-- but if we don't need a starting OT this year, why would you draft a flawed one that is not going to play? (We are coming from different underlying assumptions and perspectives--I see your argument and don't disagree with the premise) Your thinking is based on the assumption that an OT for the future is more important than immediate needs at other positions, or that we can meet other needs in later rounds even if we take the OT in round 1.  I do not think there is but 1 OT worthy of a first-round grade---they are mocked based on need and demand--if we do not have a need for a starter right now, a team at 18 may grab a T that is the 33rd best player--worth it if you have no starting T, but not if you have a starter.  So just because they are mocked around the middle of the first it does not mean that the players are good values--teams get desperate.  QBs are a great example.  Simpson may be worth it in round 1 for the Cardinals, but not the Jets, because they have Geno Smith.  Sure, they will need a QB by next year, but taking Simpson is a reach. I do not see our need, with 2 starters (Walker and Moton) and another possibly returning by the end of the season enough to justify ranking OT over positions like Safety, Will LB--I do not think we replaced A Shawn Robinson (We gonna put a NT out there?  Wharton (280lbs)?  So do we reach in round 1 for a player who may not play much or do we get a Will LB that can cover?  A deep free safety?  A quality center? A playmaking TE?  A DT to replace Robinson?  A wide receiver to balance the secondary?  Long term, if the right player was there, you would be right.  Short term, OT is a luxury at this point, in my view.  
    • Put Huey P Newton on the helmet. With his AK. 
    • We arent switching. Evero is 3-4 to the core. Given how 3-4 has been a noticeable characteristic of top defenses recently and we have drafted and signed players fir it  I dont know why anyone would think that's a good idea
