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.

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.

It sounds to me like they were dead set on getting him, and when they didn't, they panicked and got Watson. Especially given the fact that the war room was presumably dead.

Either the guy is worth it to still drop a 1st on him or not? You don't mow lawns all summer long to save up to buy an SNES, only to find out when you get to the store they are sold out, and impulsively decide since you came to buy a gaming system with the savings you earned and built that you blow it all on an Atari Jaguar. There will be more SNES coming back in stock, and future QBs to get what you truly want. Get creative and stockpile picks, so next year you've got the ammo to get the guy you really want with the collateral you've amassed. Especially when we're talking about the QB position & using a high 1st round selection.

It'd be hard to like Watson over Mahomes given the significant difference in pure arm talent and the bad tape that Watson put up in his final season. There's just more room for error when it comes to guys who can throw like Mahomes can, whereas a guy like Watson, he's going to be pretty much perfect with all of his mechanics if he's going to turn into a good starter in this league.

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

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