Two things stick out for me:

  • Before the CHI trade they were tied steady to Young and there was little debate about it.
  • Stroud's agent is Deshaun Watson's. They won't avoid him forever but I can't imagine they're eager to work with him.

Little debate?   Dude you got a link?

People bring this up a lot but I don't think it really means anything. We don't know how their relationship is with the agent. Just because Watson forced his way out and was a problem doesn't mean they blame the agent at all. They got a lot out of that trade, possibly with the agent's help working together to get it. We just don't know or have any real insight into that situation.

Pretty sure BY has Watson's agent as well.

I've read that Young Is represented by two agencies with different duties. One is specifically assigned to contract negotiations. Don't remember the names.

Either way though, also have to remember that draft picks now have assigned values.

I've seen a lot of local media suddenly going to Young in their mock drafts. Ellis, Carolina Blitz, Newton, Sheena. It's not a small contingent.

Because they all read each others picks and interpret it as momentum building.

The only reason for the drama is a) we agreed to play the media game with NFL to draw and keep interest in the draft or b) we want Stroud or are legit "ok" with either enough to trade back with Houston and score more draft capital.  The more I hear Young is the pick the more I am leaning to "B".

I NEVER...EVER...want to have the #1 pick again.  No, it doesn't have anything to do with a crappy season that caused it.  That's actually tolerable compared to endless threads about exact same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.
