Watson has to be worth more than what LA gave up for Stafford. (???) And since Chicago didn’t pull this off...maybe they’ll have to focus more on the draft? Exactly what I was thinking about. If Stafford is worth two 1st round picks, a 3rd round pick, and an average QB who is better than Trubisky or Foles, then WTF will it take to get Watson? I'd guess THREE 1st round picks, or two 1st round picks and two 2nd round picks. Either way, that price tag is far too high for a team with numerous holes to fill.

I think the price tag is going to be way too much. Personally, I would be OK with trying to get Prescott from Dallas if they tag him.

Stinger226 Posted February 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 As much as Pace will check out all the QB options, the truth is we dont have high enough picks or cap space to take on big contracts. Jets, Miami and NE have better options for trades than we do. I think they need to try to figure out a Tannehill type of player than wont cost to much. Is there any even out there? Jacoby Brissett Tyrod Taylor Ryan Fritzpatrick Jamis Winston Nick Mullens Taylor Heinicke Cam Newton Andy Dalton Winston probably stays in NO, Brissett is probably MT 2, maybe take a shot on Heinicke? He actually was in our camp in the past and we didnt keep him. The out of the box thought for me is with Lawrence going to the Jags, would you trade a 3rd round pick for Minshew? I think he would have some upside? How much would he cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearFan2000 Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 It's been reported that the Texans have named their price tag and it's steep. Two first rounders, two second rounders, and two young defensive starters, as a starting point. I'd say look elsewhere. 2021 is likely a throw away season, for the future of our team we'd be better served finding a more reasonably priced free agent or trade target. It wouldn't serve the short or long term to mortgage even more of the future for a top tier QB than not be able to afford to surround him with anything. I don't see any way that Pace/Nagy salvage this team and their jobs beyond 2021. Last thing I want to see is Pace swing for the fences (especially with his batting average) and cripple the team's cap situation and future draft capitol leaving the next GM a huge hole to dig out of. Or should I say a deeper hole than the new GM will have to as it is. My fear is Pace will more short term focused rather than long term. We are more than a QB away, and likely more than a season away from seriously competing. What I'd rather see us do while painful, would be go into next season with Foles, draft pick developmental QB, FA, and spend the remainder of the draft capitol addressing the OL, WR, and defensive holes created by players lost. Perhaps we can find a trade partner to unload Foles in some kind of package deal that either nets us a QB so we go into the season with two FA QB's and a draft pick. I feel we need to play the hand we have which isn't very good and not steal from the future to bandaid the broken present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to say this, but I think they pick a QB in the first round, bring in a OL in the second and WR in the third. That would probably mean Leno would be back and the rookie would play RT for this year and change to LT going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With pace anything's possible he could even trade up to take a QB or player that would have otherwise been there at 20, etc. Only given with Pace is there will be some head scratching selections.
