Quoted: They went from BOB to this Easterby character having at least a heavy amount of influence. The only answer is the owner has zero clue WTF they're doing. Imagine being an owner, and seeing a top 3 WR being traded away for peanuts, and not immediately firing people. How does that even go down without the owner being involved? So many things have to go wrong to get where the org is at right now that its almost unfathomable.

Incompetent administration/coaching doesn't even begin to describe it. And Texans fans love to blame it ALL on Bill O'Brien, but it's not even really his fault. Let's say a father let's his 16 year old son borrowing a $25,000 car. The son drives like shit and totals the car. The father then says "son, I am so impressed with your responsible driving that I'm going to let you borrow my $50,000 car." The son drives like shit and totals the $50,000 car. Now, who's more at fault for the $50k car getting totaled? The father or the son? They went from BOB to this Easterby character having at least a heavy amount of influence.

Quoted: Trade the Texans back their picks from the Tunsil trade so basically the Texans traded a top 10 franchise QB for a left tackle with one year left on his contract at the time. But seriously, if the Texans accept anything less than 3 firsts for Watson they are beyond incompetent. Even by Bill O'Brien standards. View Quote |

Quoted: Of course early first round picks hold more value than mid or late first picks. However, a single first round pick, regardless of where, is way too little. The only exception might be if it was the first overall and the Texans could draft Lawrence. Also if the Texans dump Watson they are almost certainly going to suck for the next half decade. So let's say the Texans use that 3rd overall pick on a DE or a O-lineman. Even IF they worked out great by the time the Texans were finally good his rookie deal would be up and the Texans would either have to make him the highest paid (or close to it) at their position or lose him. Not to mention if you're going to suck for an extended period of time it's better to really suck and get a top 3 pick every year than just kinda suck and get a 6-10 pick.

If I'm the Houston GM, I would most likely accept Miami's #3 overall pick and Tua. I'd ask for more, but I'd settle for that.

Depending upon who is doing the trading and how desperate they are, a 1st round pick for 2022 or 2023 might only be worth a 2nd or even 3rd round pick for 2021. 3) I think most people would agree that Tua still carries 1st round trade value if traded before the 2021 draft. The #3 overall pick + Tua would be HUGE trade value.

Allow me to express this differently: The #3 overall draft pick may be a single pick, but it’s worth multiple first round picks. And Tua is worth an additional first. |

View Quote I get what you're saying. However there is also that old saying, it's only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. If I'm the Texans GM I'd need to feel confident about what I can turn that #3 pick into before making that trade. I think your assumption is that someone will be willing to give up a decent haul of picks for it, and you're probably right, but the Texans would need to be sure of it. They need more than a single pick, if they can't turn that #3 into something worthwhile then they might as well just stick with Watson and call his bluff. |

I'm not a gambler so take this as a novice looking for more info. My understanding is that the odds are related the wagers being placed, are you saying that isn't the case? Can you explain how that works? Generally the oddsmakers put out a line they think will, more or less, get equal money on both sides. But there are also moneyline bets (taking a team to win SU) to consider. Then based on how the betting is going or certain players (usually just QBs) being announced out the line will change. I remember one time news broke about Rodgers not playing. Less than a minute later the line was taken down and then when it came back up there was a 10 point swing. Side note: Rodgers is the only QB I can recall ever causing a swing that high. Usually it's around a 7 point swing for good-great franchise QBs. If what that other poster said was true that would mean this game right now opened as a pick 'em (no team is favored) and only jumped to Chiefs -10 AFTER the betting started. That makes zero sense. There is not a chance in hell any legit sportsbook would offer the Chiefs at even money to simply beat the Browns. |
