You would rather trade up for an unproven prospect than trade for a 25 year old perennial Pro Bowler?

When the cost is probably 3 to 4 times a much? Hell yes. The cost to get Watson would torpedo this franchise for a decade.

He has a no-trade clause, he has to waive it to be moved...so basically he would pick the team.
Not a chance in hell he goes to another rebuild.

Agreed. Plus I'd rather trade up for Zach Wilson if they're trading for a QB.
You would rather give up the draft capital for the unproven commodity.

Why would it? Because we don't get to draft 3 1st rd picks? Those players could bust just as easy. We got 2 1st rd picks last yr anyway.
This team hits on day 3 picks just as much as they hit on top 50 picks lol.
If this is true at all...you can have 2021-2023 1sts and toss in some future 3rds.

Yeah it makes too much sense...also you can toss out all those rebuilding teams like Jags/Jets. He has a no-trade clause and isn't waiving that s**t to join another rebuild.

The idea that it would take 3 or 4 TIMES as much to trade for Watson is absurd to me.

What is too much?
The likely cost in terms of picks. The cap hit after the first year, reportedly, is pretty eye watering as well.
