Well, there goes two months of watching first round picks film... The Houston Texans go rogue and trade out of a extremely talented first round. This trade removes them from contention of getting a top-end talent. Instead, it allows them to stock up on the draft next year and still pick a solid player early this year. Mainly, this helps the Minnesota Vikings eventually trade up to get into the top five picks for a quarterback. That’s great...for Minnesota. For Houston, it means no chance at a top-end cornerback alongside Derek Stingley Jr. It also indicates Houston won’t pursue a first-round wide receiver to take over for Nico Collins. As well, considering the addition of Danielle Hunter, they won’t be in the market for a defensive end like Chop Robinson or even Jared Verse.
