Happy Saturday Cousins. Nice way to start off the day with a good breakfast of scrambled eggs and cheddar cheese, crisp maple smoked bacon, toasted raisin bread with butter and a hint of blackberry jam, orange juice and a big mug of coffee I am still working on. As I am assembling the annual DW Toys "Trade-A-Rama" Draft I have thought of a way that the Niners can upgrade....But Jimmie G. is not coming here but to the Texans.?????
Put your Trading caps on. I am giving my Draft partially away but it goes like this:
The only Team that MIGHT have a legitimate shot to Trade for Watson are the Dolphins. Coach Flores and Nick C. know each other well. I don't think Nick has any issue with poking Bill either, as he did not let Nick go in 2019.
I am all for keeping a major talent like Watson but I think it's Easterby that is the fly in the ointment. I think Watson stays if Easterby is vanquished. First of all, most posters on this sight might have more football acumen over said executive.
"Jack Easterby, hired as the franchise’s executive vice president of team development in April 2019, a man who’d risen from low-level Jaguars intern to Patriots team chaplain to lauded character coach—before making an unprecedented shift into football operations.'
"Others are skeptical, unable to square his relentless ambition with claims of selflessness. Two years after his arrival in Houston, those inside the Texans’ building describe an atmosphere of mistrust, a state of constant chaos and a sense that he isn’t fit for the roles he’s taken on."
Easterby might be a nice guy.....who knows? ...But Nick C. has to have loyalty toward him for the job. I am sure the Pats are not Fans of Easterby.
O.K. now what? Watson might be of the school in that Texans locker room, of complete mistrust for the guy. Perhaps the strings pulled were actually not B.O. but Eaterby and when you lose one of the best WR in the NFL and your face of the franchise Watt leaves, Watson has questions ......at least I would suspect. So back to the reply and why will Watson force a trade? I think IMO it's Easterby. Those two might not play nice with each other. This is also why it will have to be done. But fear not Teaxan Fans.....a fleecing is about to happen!
The Dolphins want Watson (this will be a pain in the ass for the Pats). :
For Deshaun Watson QB
The Texans receive
Tua Tagovailoa QB
Dolphins 2021 First Round Pick #3 (used by the Texans to pick QB Trey Lance)
Dolphins 2021 First Round Pick #18 (Traded to Cleveland for 1st round pick #26 which the Texans use to Draft bell cow RB Najee Harris plus a 2nd Round pick. Browns trade up to Draft South Carolina CB Horn who won't last until pick #26. The Browns have not had a top tier CB since Hayden)*
Dolphins 2022 First Round Pick
And........ Dolphins All Pro CB
Xavien Howard
*The Texans also get Cleveland 2nd Round pick #59 and Houston gives back 4th Round pick #130 [ #18=900 POINTS -#26=700 POINTS, Cleveland 2nd Round pick #59=310 POINTS-Texans 4th Round pick=74 POINTS]
The Texans not competently satisfied with Tua and after Drafting top NFL QB prospect Trey Lance at pick #3, who is not ready yet for sure, trade Tua to the Niners for Jimmie G (well known by Nick C,) to have him start and at worst, Jimmie G. could be future Trade wampum of value.
Kyle Shanahan wants a younger QB and he might feel he can create an NFL monster out of Tua. He is not in love with Jimmie G.
Remember, the Texans started out the day with no first or second round picks. Nick C. gets the following:
QB Jimmie G.
CB All Pro Xavien Howard
#3 PICK QB Trey Lance
#26 PICK RB Najee Harris
#59 PICK in the 2nd Round perhaps Watt successor in DT Jay Tufele or DT Joe Tryon or ?
2022 1st Round pick of Dolphins
A lot lost by the Texans but the haul is good if they all work out. They filled a big hole at CB and a top tier RB helps any QB. If Trey Lance is a stud the Texans win the trade. He could be a larger version of Watson.
Nick C. avoids pitch forks and torches
