Red Zone Play: Texans Don’t Build Through The Draft

In one rapid fire succession of moves, the Houston Texans dumped former #1 overall draft pick Jadeveon Clowney, and their next two years worth of #1 draft picks, plus 2021’s #2. Based on expected value alone, you’d think the Texans would have received a massive upgrade to their roster in return, they did give up a Top 50 player and a chance to draft 3 more.

So when you add the trades and the compensatory pixs to the Texans, their 2020 Draft.

3 rd pick -- from Seattle
3 rd pick-- Tyrann Mathieu
4th rd pick-- from Miami
5th rd pick
7th rd pick
7th rd pick-- Kendall Lamm
7th rd pick-- Christian Covington (most likely)— Progs (@Coog2) August 31, 2019

But, they got Laremy Tunsil, a desperately needed upgrade at left tackle, but not a player of Clowney’s level and Kenny Stills, a solid deep-threat receiver who should help out Deshaun Watson and DeAndre Hopkins immensely.
