I actually say no. I think the Texans WERE desperate and would have made that trade. They might have even paid more to move up higher than 12 after the Bears took Mahomes at 2 or 3. But I don't think the Chiefs would have paid what they did for Mahomes to settle for Watson.

Makes Dorsey's ability to work the draft board and know the EXACT sweet spot of when to grab Mahomes even more remarkable.
Even the Texans didn't really want Watson; they wanted Mahomes. That being said, I think the Chiefs stand pat (pun intended) and hope Watson falls to later in the first. When he doesn't, they pick someone else. Fortunately, there were enough useful idiots for the Chiefs do play this perfectly. Huge props to Dorsey and the staff.
