TRADE ALERT!

Texans Trade:
  • 2025 5th Rd
  • 2027 5th Rd
Browns Trade:
  • 2025 6th Rd
  • 2025 6th Rd
  • 2025 7th Rd

So basically we exchanged our 5th round pick for 3 in Rounds 6-7.
Ammo for moving around
That and the wage scale for 6/7 is lower than 5.

Odd trade to make pre-draft. Usually late round picks are traded when a certain player drops and someone moves up to get them.

And I get the time value aspect but giving up 2 5ths for a couple 6ths and a 7th doesn't seem like great value.

I was confused at first but then realized that the second 5th was for 2027. So it really doesn't matter at all in the grand scheme of things. Getting 3 picks this year just gives a lot of ammo to get over the hump of deals, and shows that Caserio is probably going to be very active in this draft.

Eh. I don't see this as some great draft capital. I don't think a couple 6ths and a 7th move the needle much. Probably not much more than the 5th we gave. No trade hinges on a 7th round pick.

Caserio has earned our trust but it's a head scratcher from a timing standpoint.

You moved down 13 spots this year and added 2 more picks for this draft.

Feels like a trade to have more flexibility for small draft moves, not big ones.

And gave up the 5th in 2027.
We gave up two picks that were better than the three we got back. They also gave us three nickels for two dimes.

Maybe we just needed more than 1 cheap player stat for cap reasons or that they're all fungible in that range. Head scratcher but whatever.

Discount rounds in future drafts. Texans late 5th in 2027 equal to a 7 in 2025. So you trade a 5 and equivalent of a late 7 for 2 6ths and a 7. Texans must want these late picks either because they are making fewer early picks (trading up) or maybe Cleveland is trading down for a lot of picks or both. We will find out this weekend.

To me, that's the most oversold aspect.

He can probably play in spot situations both ways but he's not going to be anywhere near a full time 2-way player.

What will Hunter's true position be? The NFL isn't college football, he will need to focus on one position and then utilize him in specific spots. If he truly tries to go full time at both positions, he will not be a star.

Yeah. If he wants to at least play some both ways, seems like he will have to be a full time CB and then come in for 10 or so downs on offense. It's a lot easier to be a spot receiver than a spot CB.

Talent goes to die in Jacksonville

Agreed, just no way he can be successful at both positions if he tries to truly play both ways.

Yep. If you've heard Stingley talk about film study and picking up receiver's tendencies, etc., it should be pretty obvious that it would be real hard to be an elite CB part time.

He's either a full time WR and pretty much nothing else or a full time CB who has a handful of offensive plays as a WR.

Dallas radio just said their sources at The Star say the Texans called Dallas with an offer to move up, but the offer wasn't good enough for the Cowboys

I'm kind of glad they didn't, we don't have a good track record of trading up for interior guys

IM pretty sure we traded back up for Kenyon, didn't we? Then Juice Scruggs two years ago. I'm pretty sure trades were involved for both, but I'm on my phone right not

I believe we traded down for Kenyon, not sure on Juice.
