Texans reportedly not excited last night after getting Watson

This might be in a thread somewhere but I just wanted to make sure everyone saw this, very interesting....

So we have all heard today that NO, ARZ, SEA, and presumably Houston wanted Pat. Read this excerpt from someone within the Texans war room.

Unlike the handshakes, hugs and backslapping that went on in other war rooms, many in Houston looked as though they had just awoken on Christmas morning and found no presents under the tree after it was announced the team had traded and selected quarterback Deshaun Watson.

Watching the stone-faced expression on the face of head coach Bill O'Brien and the subdued attitude of those sitting at their desks made me and others I was with feel something was not right.

It sounds to me like Mahomes was that 'present' that was not there for O'Brien and the Texans.

Sounds like a lot of QB gurus had a hard on for Mahomes

I read many reports before the draft that Houston loved Mahomes. This makes me think we took their guy and they got stuck with Watson.

They wanted the big arm local boy. Did any GM or scout like Watson more that Mahomes? Doesn't feel like it.

KC owns Houston. LMAO

And apparently John Fox wasn't in the loop either regarding Chicago's trade for Trubisky.

This pic said it all.

Saw a late night interview with Arians. He looked like he had been sucking lemons. He said QB had definitely been in the mix but they went right before AZ picked.

Wow, I hadn't seen that picture. Good find, Clay.

It looks like everyone except the GM is disappointed.

Deshaun's ceiling is solid starter. Pat's ceiling is Rodgers/Favre. Kick in the nuts for the Texans. Chiefs really pulled the rug out from under them. Well played by Dorsey and Reid.

That picture is truly amazing. It looks like one proud guy, and a bunch of others who are worried they just lost their job.

Mahomes ceiling is higher than any QB in the draft. His ability to make plays and his arm are ahead of the pack. Houston knew it. AZ knew it and we stole it. The Saints knew it and so did two other undisclosed teams.

We stole him. Gotta be excited for the future.

People who think Mahomes would have been there at 27 are idiots
