Growing smoke surrounding Deshaun Watson and Miami.
I just wanted to talk through the hypothetical. I’m against it. Yes, Watson is a star. He is a top 5 QB by nearly every measure. He is currently better than Tua might ever be.
I think if you execute this trade, it takes Tua, both firsts, and possibly both second rounders, maybe more. So Miami nets Watson, and have picks in the third round back. They still have bad skill position players. They still need WRs and RBs, regardless of who is at QB.
Deshaun Watson doesn’t change this and you’re throwing him into a situation that is equally as bad as Tua was in and as bad as he was in with Houston. You have taken a blowtorch to the rebuild. All the capital you built up after tearing down the roster and putting yourself in one of the most enviable positions in the league, and you flush it.
Maybe you take the known quantity of a star QB over everything, but I still feel the best path forward is using all that capital to surround Tua with talent and utilize those rookie deals to build a deep, competitive roster.
