We can begin to quantify it by using Clevelands 16mm purchase of Houston's 2018 2nd rd pick. It looks like that pick was #35 and it is worth 550 trade points. For 16mm that puts the value of a trade point at $28,500. Testing out the evaluation, that puts the value of the 1st pick at 3000 x 28,500 = about $86 million. This is actually way below the value Lawrence will bring to Jax in terms of franchise value, city revenue, etc. So it is very conservative and implies Cleveland got a great deal--and it looks like they got Chubb with that pick to boot. Using this conservative figure, the #2 pick is thus worth about $74 million, the #23 pick is worth about $22 million and next years say #10 pick is worth $37 million for a total of about $133M. For that you get the privilege of 3 years of Watson at about $80M. So we're at about $213M for 3 years of Watson.
this is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read. I dont believe that someone is able to believe this and also spell the word happen.
I have nothing to go on, but it feels like Watson is trying to get himself somewhere that he knows a player or two that he wants to team up with will join him. I know that's more of an NBA thing, but the repeated likes and comments from other players seems suspicious.
My sticking point with Watson is not that I don’t want him, my sticking point is how much will it cost. 2021(2nd overall) and 2022(1). That’s all I would give up for him, not Jets job to bail out Texans. This is my last post on Watson, going off to read other good threads on TGG.
She is also the banker, on that basis I go out and buy a £70 game and we don't pay the electric bill lol We aren't all rich matey
No shit. I’d kill to go back to a time where I didn’t even have to think about assets. That’s how you end up signing up for Jets fan sites because you were really excited that your favorite team got Santana Moss.
Hey. We love you IDF. I know you mean no harm but real life example didn't really make sense to someone like me who doesn't want to overpay for Watson.
