There’s no way they accept that but I’d offer it. Any QB we get in this class would be *lucky* to play at his level. He’s performed well even with trash around him, an awful coach/gm and an owner who has no idea what he’s doing. 
 

Give him DJ, Robbie, Curtis and CMC and we are in the playoffs every year and finally have back to back winning seasons the day he shows up to the stadium.

that’s the same draft capital it would likely take to trade up and get wilson, and have him on a rookie deal for 5 years

But Wilson might be a bust. He might turn out okay. The odds he turns into anything as good as Watson are very slim. You can trade up for an idea or you can trade for the real thing.

Doesn't really matter either way.

Do you think if Watson waived a no trade clause, the team would suddenly become more agreeable to trading him?

It matters immensely in regards to the language of the contract, the player has all of the leverage.

In this particular situation it probably won't matter, I do agree with you that there is little chance the Texans do try to trade him, but the possibility is still there.

Just because you misspoke you don't have to discount it.

I think the Texans get a good laugh out of that suggestion, given that they've already said it would take three firsts, three seconds and a player in order to even "start the conversation".

If they said that, I'd laugh at them. Watson's desire (or ire) may bring that price down a bit.

Personally seems like a reasonable trade for both sides, but only if Watson is so disgruntled that he is going to make a huge stink in Houston. Otherwise I don't see Houston going for it. From Carolina's side,  you weigh the upgrade from Teddy and the qb you might have available at 8 compared to the lost value of the extra 1st and 2nd round pick. From Houston's standpoint, you swap Watson for a cheap rookie qb with Teddy on as a cheapish 1 year bridge, restock the draft capital you desperately need and go full on rebuild mode. But again you'd only do it as Houston if Watson basically demands a trade.

Coach speak.

      When we drafted Luke, we already had Cam, Smith, Olsen, Stewart, Deangleo, Gross, Kalil, CJ, Hardy, Beason, TD, Gamble (and maybe more I'm forgetting), we had a lot of great pieces in place. Going pure BPA for a player with Luke's potential when the LB you already have is different when you already have all those pieces in place.  Our OL right now is probably in a better shape than that team and our RBs and TE have potential compared to proven vets back then, but after that, the 2012 roster was in a far better shape than we are right now. We need a #1 WR, DEs, LBs, DBs, C, and depending who you ask a QB.  Going BPA at pick #5 when that player is a DT and your current best player on either side of the ball is a DT, seems irresponsible. If he's the only player they like that high left, then you trade back and go with position of more need at a slot that makes sense for the player while adding other picks.  If you trade back and he falls because other teams don't need/want a DT, then you consider him at that point because of the value.

      This sounds like the same back and forth when we drafted a LB when we already had a LB or as mentioned prior back to back DLs. I want the BPA, if it is another DT so be it. (No not a kicker/punter for those people that think they are funny))
