3 - Seattle has a history of trading out of the 1st round anyways, so they likely don't value a late 1st all that much.
4 - Watson may have been the 1st player to vocally want out of Houston, but he's hardly the first guy to want out of there. Read comments by former Texans who talk about how toxic the environment is. Then they go and fire almost anyone Watson liked in the franchise, drag their heels on interviewing a guy he likes, and hired a nobody to be their HC. If you think that makes him a bad guy I'd like to recommend a house on "Shut the **** up Lane" right next to Favre.
