you can’t pay both. Watt is better than taco no doubt but he is way overpaid for what he provides. I would pass.

They probably wouldn't have taken Parsons if they'd already had Watt. Probably would've gone for a TE.

No, that wouldn’t even be close to Doomsday 1 or Doomsday 2. Sorry if you missed those decades, because TJ Watt and Parsons wouldn’t put this defense in that class.

Im over it but I will still ponder.....
Ponder away. It is more than worthy of a ponder. It is a classically moronic example of Dallas trying to be too smart. Draft the project with questionable character but long arms or the highly productive “tweener” that just makes plays. Look at how it turned out. In the real world GMs get fired for such stupidity.

If we took Watt we never would have been in a position to draft Parsons.

The result of letting your DC force a pick for a very specific scheme and not taking the best talent that you can find ways to work into your defense.

*** you, Rod.

Imagine we hadn't passed on Brady 5-6 times that draft.

Ponder what current players you'd cut to have Watt and his four-year, $112 million contract on the roster. You wouldn't have the current team plus Watt.

Demarcus Lawrence wouldn’t have gotten his deal. Win-win.

If they would have taken Watt it would have changed everything. They wouldn't have had the same picks and wouldn't have the same players that they have today. You can forget your fantasy.

We should thank Rod because if not for him he'd probably still be our DC and we'd probably not have Parsons.

yeah, but Watt seems 2 be getting hurt lately, missing games. I would have loved 2 have chose him, but long term, can he remain viable,healthy? We will always wonder what could have been I guess.
