I think it's most appropriate that my comments remain brief.
Some things can be fixed and will be. Some things can't be fixed and won't be but we may find a way to survive them anyway. And some things look like they'll never change within our lifetimes so my mixed emotions remain intact.
So while I see changes on the horizon the core problems still remain as just one more obstacle this team will need to overcome each year and I'm getting very tired of always starting with a handicap as each new one arrives.
Deshaun Watson with ur # 1 , and if he's not there then Cam Robinson . That's my o'pine and I'm stickin with it .
What if Waston punches his girlfriend out and Cam RObinson posts videos of himself hitting the bong?
Well , from what I've gleaned doing what research I can , neither appears to be a bona-fide numbskull , so I'd say my odds are good . But if by some chance lightning does strike twice , I'll quote John Maynard Keynes ( who , when asked the " what if " question , said ) : " when the facts change so does my opinion ; and you sir " ?
The good thing is - whether it's a DE , S , CB , OT , or QB , the odds are good we're going to wind up with a good player . But QB's affect ur outcome more than any other position , so that's why I'm hoping we draft 1 ... IN the 1st rd .
I have a question maybe someone could answer regarding trading up from that 2nd round pick of ours. If we do get one of the top D guys with our 1st round pick, we also could see one of the top QB's left towards the lower 1st round (kind of like Green Bay had with Aaron Rodgers the year Alex Smith was the #1 overall pick of that draft). We are #3 of the second round. Pretty high 2nd round position. I realize this is a guess, but what would it typically take to trade up from that #3-second round pick to say #25-first round?
One scenario I could see happening in this draft is that teams won't spend a top first round pick on a QB but maybe a latter 1st round team will - which may be a better match to the talent of the QBs in this draft. And it is entirely possible that the QB Pace likes best in this draft COULD be a guy available in the latter 1st round. Keep in mind Pace's QB target may not be another team's QB target (think the Green Bay example with Aaron Rodgers vs Alex Smith).
It would be quite a draft if we could get our QB and one of the top D guys in this draft.
And boy I'm sure hoping we don't because I don't want to invest somewhere around $28-$30 mil guaranteed in any of those guys for four years to find out whether or not he's a franchise QB. Not if I can draft a blue chip player at another position or trade down for more picks one of which might actually be worth spending on a young passer.

Roughly 160 points or the value of a later 3rd round pick.
