How many 1st Round Picks would you give up in order to acquire DeShaun Watson from the Texans?
2, 3, More?

I think it might be more than that.Khalil Mack, Eddie Jackson and two 1st round picks
I think there’s a limit to how many years in the future you can give up picks.
I’d seriously trade every pick available if we have to if it meant getting a top 5 QB in his prime.
It’d be pure insanity for the Texans to trade him away though.

We'd be the only Special person team to do soif HOU makes Watson available, Bears best be the first and only team to make an offer and that's everything, as long as they take Fuller off our cap space.
What is Deshaun going to win you? 2 maybe 3 more games a year? Let's say best case scenario we're 11-5, still in second place in the division, still a 3-4 seed in the conference. Best case scenario it turns out Chuck is a little downsy and the defense really isn't THAT bad. Yes, you trade for him but you're risking a lot because 2019/20 this defense has looked awful.
Compound that with potentially firing Pace/Nagy in 2021, what GM would want to come in with no 1st round picks for 'x' amount of years with Deshaun's crazy ass contract?
Ryan Pace has buried this team...
They won't in 2021 but they have to be thinking further than that. With how the NFL is trending, he could be playing into his 40s. You never see a top 5 QB in his prime traded because they are just so damn hard to find.Houston was 4-12 with him this year. They lost their #1 WR and can lose their next #1 WR this offseason. They still need to build an OL outside of LT, and still need to build a defense. They got no early round picks this year and are over the 2021 cap as of right now. And they just hired a GM, who has never built a team before from an organization that hasn't produced many slam dunks once they've left Belichick.
I don't really see any avenue for them to really be much better in 2021. They can cut a bunch of people and get some space, but the biggest savings would be JJ Watt and Brandin Cooks, with an already bad defense and Fuller a FA, those would be huge losses. And if they're going to win 4-6 games again, they have to really hit on draft picks in 2022 and cheap FAs to get back to the contender they were the previous 2-3 years. So, it would be pretty tempting if Watson doesn't want to wait out a rebuild without Watt and Fuller, and they can get 3 1st rounders and multiple other picks for him.
Watson had a little stat padding this year in garbage time because his team was bad. I don't put him as a HOF type QB like Rogers, Manning or Brady. I put him in that second tier. Still very good though and probably capable of taking you deep in the playoffs with a good defense.
2021: 1st and 2nd
2022: 1st and 3rd
2023: 2nd
That's about as much as I would trade for anybody that is not a HOF QB, and those guys don't get traded early in their career.
If a team is getting rid of a franchise QB, its for a reason.

That's why the only way I see it happening is if Watson gets ugly and demands a trade.
