...why would the Texans ask for Tua and then take a QB at #3?
Isn't there a philosophy that a team should draft a QB every year until they get a franchise QB?
If the Jets were the team losing Watson, I would want this team doing everything in its power to hedge its bets to find a replacement franchise QB.
I have zero faith in tua, but if the compensation for him was reasonable (ie he was valued as a 2nd round pick in a Watson trade) I would absolutely want him and to draft a QB as well.
The best man starts, and the other guy is a high upside cost controlled backup.
Sure I'd rather have an experienced vet as the 2nd QB. But the Texans would be having a huge rebuild losing their young franchise QB, best offensive weapon, and the face of their franchise all in the last 2 years.
If i was the Texans I'd be happy to take Tua or Darnold in a potential Watson trade as a sweetener
