The overall play alone by the Houston Texans secondary — especially the cornerbacks — this season gave the indication changes were going to be made, and one has reportedly been made by Bill O’Brien and the front office of the Texans on Tuesday.
VIc Tafur of The Athletic is reporting via Twitter that the Texans have traded for Oakland Raiders cornerback Gareon Conley for a third-round draft choice.
While the third-round pick is for next year’s 2020 NFL Draft, that will be a third-rounder from their trade with the Seattle Seahawks, meaning the Texans would have already traded their first- and now third-round picks for next year’s draft as they are now 4-3 overall and in second place in the AFC South entering Week 8.
