    i don't think the cost was too high for what you’re getting.

    The 2nd is par for the course in moving up that high and hopefully the 1st next year is the Cleveland pick.

    The third next year will be forgotten about.

    Nick did good.

    Gotta give him his props as much sh*t as i talked about him.

    It’s not a debate, it was an overpay. By every table.
    Love the player though

    True football minds understand without a doubt Will Anderson was the BEST football player in this draft. The Texans just got him and CJ back to back. I don’t see how anyone can be anything other than ecstatic.

    You gotta give up something big to get something big. If you’re trading for a guy who you consider to be a cornerstone piece of your franchise for years to come, there’s really no such thing as a “steep” price.

    Plus we still have a first rounder next year.

    Idk how people are complaining about this…

    Wasn't sold on the Anderson propaganda the antiqbs were putting out there, but Demeco obviously loves the guy from his multiple visits.
    If Demeco is a bird, I'm a bird. Hoping he excels!

    There was no need to make the trade. Just take him at 2

    Better than drafting Stroud.
    Could have had Anderson at 2 and Levis at 12-who actually has upside.
    Plus an additional high 2nd, next years first and third

    Texans clearly gave up too much draft capital to make the trade, but if he is in fact that dude it won't matter.

    Quite a gamble though.
