Would You Trade Pick 3 Straight Up for Robert Quinn - DE - Rams?

#47

Quote:If the team needed a QB, I'd be all over that trade. Problem is that we have Bortles, and if you trade the third pick this year for a star QB, then one of those two premium picks is inevitably going to waste.

 

I had issues with the Gabbert pick from the start. It was pretty obvious that he was a system QB who was made to look better than he really was by Missouri's offense. I really wanted Ryan Kerrigan, Robert Quinn or, yes, Watt.

 

Here's the best defense I can muster for not trading the third pick for Watt, aside from my gut feeling that doing so would be a move we'd regret in three years and my general dislike of Madden-inspired trade scenarios that would never happen in real life anyway. What if Houston takes Leonard Williams with that third overall pick, and what if Williams ends up being better? It's worth noting that if Houston is willing to even entertain that trade, it would be because they know something about Watt that we don't, and because they believe that they can get a better player at three than what they have in Watt.

 

If Houston is willing to deal Watt and take a chance on the third pick, then two huge red flags come to mind. First, if the Texans believe someone better than Watt is available at three, why should we take a player that they clearly believe is inferior off their hands? Two, if Houston is willing to trade the best defender in the NFL away, what the heck must be wrong with him?!
Dude. You're thinking waaaaaaaay too much into it.

 

It's really simple. Watt is better than anyone we will get at #3 this year. Don't think about if this were to actually happen because it won't. Don't think about if Houston "knows something" about Watt and thats why they want to trade him. It's just a super super simple question: would you trade #3 for Watt. And if you wouldn't do it, you're wrong. It's not even having an opinion on the topic. If you wouldn't trade your unknown player at #3 for the best defensive player in the league and probably the best defensive player for the next 6 years, you are wrong.
