The front offices of the NFL understand that it was a first and third round pick for Matthew Stafford, and then a first round pick to take on Jared Goff's contract. I don't think this raises the price for Watson that much. It's a much different player and situation. Stafford and the Lions also ended things amicably.
Your point is ridiculous and relies on semantics. There’s a reason no one is jumping to agree with you.
I’m sure there were better offers for Stafford. But Stafford probably preferred the Rams ( Good weather and good team) and the Lions did him a solid and traded him there.
It’s been reported by a bunch of people that they had multiple offers of one first so it seems like the entire league saw that the value was only one first round pick, plus maybe a day 2/3 pick. The other first rounder is because Goff has a terrible contract and the Rams didn’t have a 2021 first rounder. I’m pretty confident that this doesn’t drive up Watson’s value and actually might show us that it isn’t as high as we think if you go by the value chart... And yea good for the Lions, that’s the kind of shit other players remember.
This trade has no impact on the value of Watson. Obviously the Rams had to overpay to get rid of Goffs deal. Very similar to the Ossweiler deal a few years ago. 3 1s over the next 3 years and a 3 gets Watson from Houston.
For the WELP GUESS WE ARENT GETTING WATSON NOW FUCK crowd, even though it’s literally just restating what a ton of people have already said here:
https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.c...ns-trade-value/amp/?__twitter_impression=true This trade does not effect Watson picks.
So Sam should go next for 3 firsts. After all he crushed Stafford by 48 and just hung a big L on Goff and his #1 D.
Oh come on, the thread is full of shit as it is, no need to add to it with bad bad jokes, nobody could be that serious even in sarcasm mode.
good point, Florio sucks. It’s a shame that he and only he mentioned it and there weren’t a ton of sports writers saying the exact same thing last night.
