kiwieagle Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 3 hours ago, What The F said: Im starting to think there's a chance at 2 top 5 picks... There is a chance but there are some bad out there. Certainly plenty of teams that have stunk even worse than us and the Dolphins. Texans and Jets look like locks for top-3. Jags could improve late as Lawrence figures out NFL. Lions are winless but have been competitive in a few games at least. Panthers and Broncos racked up early wins but are imploding now. The real keys will be our games against the Lions, Jets and Broncos, as well as 4 game slate against Giants and Redskins. We cant win more than say two-three of those games if we want our pick to land in top-5. But with a schedule as weak as ours, think our pick lands in top-10 but not top-5.

Ok maybe the Jets but not the Phins no matter how bad they are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diehardfan Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Hoping Carolina or Denver gets Watson. Would be our luck for him to go to the Dolphins and turn their season around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeps him away from the Phins and takes one other team out of the top-5 pick stakes which Carolina and Denver are firmly in the running for despite their fast early starts 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procus Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Most likely, Watson ain't going anywhere in 2021. There was a report that the compensation aspect of a deal between Miami and Houston has been agreed upon, but that his legal issues need to first be resolved. That ain't happening by the trade deadline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The legal issues are still live. No team can risk giving up a substantial amount for him and the Texans would be silly to trade him for next to nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now with these legal issues going on and him not having played this year his value is potentially lower than it would have been. If these legal issues (I think they are civil issues though aren't they?) all go away then his value probably rises a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like he said, the Texans would be stupid to accept a lowball offer now, unless of course they have serious concerns the Criminal investigation is going to end in charges and destroy any value. Unless the trade has a clause that voids it in the event Watson ends up facing criminal charges, I don't see it happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaff Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I don’t think we’ve properly appreciated just how incredibly dumb the trade by the Dolphins was to give us this pick in the first place. Why the F would you trade a future first weeks before the draft in order to move up for a … WR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we are picking a QB with that, the only way I would stay at #2 would be if Kayvon is on the board. Stingley/Hutchinson/Leal are not worth the #2 pick. Trade down in that scenario.

Risk is there no doubt about it. Pickett is on the Burrow track but doesn't mean it will stay that way in the NFL. Ridder is drawing comparisons to Josh Allen, who also had accuracy issues but the talent was outrageous. Allen eventually fixed his accuracy to match his talent, but doesn't mean Ridder will. The Eagles are going to have one hell of an off-season evaluation process on their hands. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean there's things to like about every QB in this draft. But there is also some real flags with all of them. I mean I'm liking Corral so far right now but then the size is a concern. And I also don't think what he’d be like in a more traditional nfl offense. I think he could be a turnover machine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
