I just read on MSN that the Texans would want 3 first round picks plus three second round picks and an all pro player in any trade for Watson. The Dolphins, with all the holes they still have on the roster would be absolutely insane to go for that trade.
The only all pro player they have is Howard and he is the best player they have on defense. As the Texans proved this past season, if you have Watson as your QB and a bunch of mediocre players on the rest of the roster, you end up 4-12.
The Dolphins hopefully will stick with Tua and continue to build through the draft and not trade away their future for Watson.
The 3ypc guys made a great point on their pod (although they were criminally undervaluing the trade required for Watson), that Houston's new GM simply has to win this trade, he has to sell this to the fan base as him fleecing another organisation. They are absolutely right, if you put yourself in his shoes, he would be the GM that traded away Deshaun Watson, he will be out of a job in no time at all and unemployable if he didn't get a haul of picks that we've never seen before, and as importantly hit on those picks.
