It looks like now the Texans are getting the better of the trade
For what it is worth, they got a terrible OG that is currently on IR and a Linebacker that they had to give up a ton more capital to go get.
The rest of the trade stuff is so muddled in further trades that it's just a wash. We actually ended up getting Emerson as a result of some of that further trading, which bolsters our side of it.
Furthermore, even when you look at who we might have picked based on who wasn't taken yet at the point of our original picks (2022 #13 and 2023 #12), the names available aren't all that impressive, and because the rest of our roster is already so freaking solid, they wouldn't have provided anywhere near the impact people want to think..... unless someone wants to suggest that we could have stolen Kenny Pickett from Pittsburgh, lol
So, while we definitely haven't gotten any appreciable value from the trade, at all, they have done poorly enough with it that it's actually a push, in my opinion... and I have NEVER been a fan of that trade.
