The reports that the Texans are open to dealing second and the twelfth overall, and then the quick backpedaling that "actually maybe they just want Derek Carr!" makes me think that's the deal on the table.

Its almost impossible for another team to reasonably beat that offer, since the Bears still get to trade down with another team for 2024 and 2025 picks while essentially creating a firewall at twelfth overall. The Colts would need to throw in considerably more than fourth, thirty-sixth and 2024 first rounder to match that from the Texans.
No chance the Texans trade #12 to move up one spot. That would be a monumental overpay.

The qualification was "quality NFL career". Flutie does not meet that. He just lived fo rthe spottlight but produced nothing. He was Tebow before Tebow.
I wondered if someone would point out that he sucked (which he did). I only posted that for laughs.

Poles would be making a blunder if he traded out this early. It would have to be a Rickey Williams or Herschel Walker type of trade but with future 1sts included as well.
If Hou offers 2 and 12, how do you say no? You gain the 12 while still having a very desired pick to trade. No other team can come close to that without moving down considerably more. Even moving to #4 takes 2 to 3 QB's off the board. If there was just one "guy" it would be prudent to trade out assuming you had just one shot, but if Hou has a must have "guy" and Poles knows other teams are looking at a few guys, it could be like manna from heaven. It would be interesting to know if he is talking to teams slightly lower down the draft about potential trades in a scenario where the Bears move to 2 or 4.
