Denver Broncos to acquire Deshaun Watson in Blockbuster Draft Day Trade

If Focus on professional football‘latest mock draft comes true, which includes a tectonic trade between the Denver Broncos and Houston Texans, most Mile High fans would be ecstatic. Anthony Treash of PFF published a simulated draft on Monday that is sure to cause awe in Broncos Country.

As the Broncos are about to meet the schedule in choice 9, the news of a negotiation was at risk. Denver acquires the disgruntled quarterback Deshaun Watson, while the Texans keep the entire Broncos farm, as well as their own caller.

9. HOUSTON TEXANS (via DEN): QB TREY LANCE, NORTH DAKOTA STATE

REPLACEMENT! Houston exchanges quarterback Deshaun Watson for Denver for the ninth general choice, a 2021 in the second round, 2022 in the first round, 2022 in the second round, 2023 in the first round

Texan chiefs may continue to insist that they will not negotiate with the star quarterback, but Watson appears to be in danger at this point. In fact, FanDuel now has the Broncos as favorites to win Watson ahead of the 2021 NFL season.

If Denver acquires the star defender, it will have to choose a stupid amount of choices, although the defender has a no-deal clause hindering him. And the Broncos are willing to do just that. After all, Watson was one of the top three defenders of the 2020 season and is on his way to Hall of Fame status, according to research by Kevin Cole of PFF.

The Broncos’ acquisition of Watson would have the same impact we saw last season when Tom Brady signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They would be candidates for the Super Bowl immediately.

The road to Hall of Fame status? Huh. Isn’t it a little early for such a conversation, especially considering Watson’s one and only playoff victory in four seasons of the NFL? I understand that the three Pro Bowl waves are impressive, but hit the brakes.

King Houston’s rescue commands in the PFF trade baffles the mind. Not one, not two, but three choices in the first round, two more in the second round.

I miss me in that noise.

However, there are a multitude of Broncos and media fans who line up to pay dearly for Watson. Broncos free agent Justin Simmons said last week that Watson would make his team “automatically a candidate” – a shot like that of PFF, which frankly has some gaps.

If Watson could take a team from the last 10 like the Broncos and instantly make him a candidate, then surely the Texans would have been a force to be reckoned with last year, or so logic says. But Houston finished 4-12 and the Texans didn’t have to fight names like Patrick Mahomes twice a year, not to mention Justin Herbert.

Watson’s 4,823 passing yards led the NFL and, although he produced 33 touchdowns in the air, it was not enough to avoid Houston’s downfall. He’s considered one of the top 5 QBs in the league, but is Watson in the tide that lifts all ships, like the guy in the genuine franchise?

I am not saying that he is not (forgive the negative double), but what I am saying is that, based on recent empirical evidence, I am far from convinced that he is. What that means is that Watson’s future arrival, along with all the GM George Paton’s horses and men, may not be enough to put the Broncos back in place.

In that case, those five premium round choices given over to conquer Watson would probably be the biggest culprit to point out. The prospect of any team, especially the Broncos, who have so many holes in the roster in defense, to give up the farm to win Watson’s draw is a proverbial draw.

You are condemned if you do and condemned if you don’t.

I would protect the side of honoring Paton’s central philosophy and ‘writing and developing’ the Broncos’ way out of the doldrums. Aside from Peyton Manning or Tom Brady falling into a team’s lap, there are no quick fixes in the National Football League.

Unless you’re saying Watson is at that level. I know that is what PFF is saying. Is that what you’re saying? Because this is certainly not what I’m saying.
