3 Broncos trade offers for Deshaun Watson the Texans should take

Offer #1

Broncos get

QB Deshaun Watson
2023 5th-round pick
2024 5th-round pick

Texans get

2022 1st-round pick
2022 2nd-round pick
2023 1st-round pick
2023 3rd-round pick
2024 1st-round pick
2024 3rd-round pick

All the draft picks.

Three first-round picks, three day-two selections. There are some selections coming back to Denver here of little significance to Houston just so the Broncos’ cupboard is not completely bare, but this would seem to be the type of deal Houston would want in terms of draft capital.

At this point, there have been no reports of the Texans demanding any sort of player compensation in return for Watson, especially since that could potentially derail the value they could get in return in terms of draft capital.

In this scenario, the Broncos would not have a pick in the first two rounds of the 2022 NFL Draft, but they would still at least have second-round picks in 2023 and 2024.

The Los Angeles Rams have not had a first-round pick since 2016 and their roster seems to be doing just fine.
