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.

where is this coming from that the texans are in love with young?

It's mostly certain people that want it to be true. They refuse to even consider that Houston couldn't have been blowing smoke about their love of Young or supposed dislike of Stroud. They want the Panthers to pull off trades just like Tom Welling Dd GIF did in that movie.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
