Love Eichenberg, this is a very solid class for OT so I think he could be there for us in the 2nd. He is a very consistent talent, and a serious load in the run game. Moton could be our LT and he could be our RT, I would be estatic.

I've kind of just maintained the usual thought that Watson will not play for Houston, and we are the most obvious choice and the most aggressive bidders.

Hurts is the guy in Philly. Expect them to target weapons for him or some secondary help.

^Much respect to Mr Scot

Yeah I can write something like that up soon.

The best frame of reference we have "The Chicago Bears acquired disgruntled Denver Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler in a trade on Thursday afternoon, giving up quarterback Kyle Orton and first-round picks in 2009 (18th overall) and 2010, along with a third-round pick (84th overall) in 2009 to do it." Only Deshaun is a much better QB than Jay was at this point. So a higher third pick, and a player makes sense. Orton is Teddy probably.

Fields seems like the most realistic option if we can't get Watson.

I'm more of a DC girl personally.

Side note: I do not believe we ever offered Burns, nor do I personally think we would trade him.

Well the news to all of you is, I am Matt Rhule.

I am Jason La Canfora confirmed.

Fields is definitely a great QB prospect, no problems with that. Can't imagine him over Wilson though.

My uncle is David Tepper.

Lol

In todays NFL, there is a very slim chance of you winning a super bowl without a franchise QB. Plus side if you have Mahomes, Watson, Brady, Allen, Rodgers, or Wilson. You are almost always in the race with those guys. CMC will almost never get you 2+ wins by himself, we already know this given the last two years. 2-3 first rounders is certainly steep, but you have a much better chance bouncing back from that loss than finding a Deshaun Watson play literally ever again. Tepper and company know this, they know what is needed to elevate a franchise, and they know a franchise QB is building block #1. If you do not have that guy, you are going to keep rebuilding until you do, while the players you spend first round picks on walk out the door.

I am siding with you here lol Loose strands do not make a full head of hair. I no longer believe Houston will be able to retain him.

I highly doubt it.

I have been telling everyone for two months that Watson wants out, Tepper and company will give up whatever they need to to get him. I get loose details on what we are willing to give up, and have said for a while CMC will likely be included. Done deal this is not, but I do believe we are as close an anyone else to getting him.

I have not yet.

I will again reiterate this is not a "done" thing, but we are very much in the race. I do not believe Watson will stay in HOU.

I do think Houston will trade him. I will get back to you on teams.

Your guess is as good as mine.

Don't be shocked if there are also a couple of mid round picks thrown in there from either side. Not a done deal. Three teams in race. That is all I know.
