Kelly: Deshaun Watson doesn’t make sense for Dolphins right now | Commentary
Five months ago I would have advocated that the Miami Dolphins give the Houston Texans whatever they wanted for Deshaun Watson.
Three first-round picks for an elite quarterback who led the NFL in passer rating last season? No problem.
Four first-round picks for a 25-year-old under contract for the next five seasons? You’re pushing it, but fine.
Xavien Howard, the Dolphins’ best player? I’ll probably thrown him in too after a little haggling.
Whatever the price was I would have pushed for Dolphins general manager Chris Grier to pay up to get Watson, who is one of the league’s best young quarterbacks, a top-five talent at his position, and a top-25 talent in the league.
