The ESPN scenario was Watson for Mayfield, OBJ, the Browns next 3 first round picks and 4th round pick.
So... No?
I mean obviously in a "demand trade" situation the Texans would be falling all over themselves to get that deal done so probably not the best for the Browns.
If there was no scheme in place and just QB in nameless system, and it was mayfield, OBJ this years 1st and a 3rd and a 4th (this year) and maybe a 2nd or 3rd in rhe future. Sure, but I imagine it will take more than that.
My question is, how much does Watson improve Stefanskis offense marginally and is that more valuable to you than well, taking you from a really good cap situation to what ultimately ends up cap hell. Its not just Watson vs Mayfield pay now, pay later, but they $ you'll have to spend to overcome 3 1st round draft picks being gone. I mean, why do what the Texans did to put themselves in this situation?
The fun part is, I am sure Depodesta has a team of nerds on it right now.
