    I knew all that talk about supporting any player we picked would be BS

    Love both picks. We drafted for the two most important positions and arguably the best two players at their position.

    Stroud was for the owner & GM. Anderson was for DeMeco. A bit pricey but that’s what it takes to move up and the Texans still have a 1st next year. Anderson may not be a defensive freak stopper but there is a lot of value if he’s quality plus player and a true field/locker room leader for the next decade

    All things considered, if the two guys they just got work out, the Texans pick could very well be worse than the Browns pick.

    If this dude is Von Miller or 3/4 Von Miller then the trade was worth it. If he's Vernon Gholston 2.0 then we in trouble.

    Anderson should have been #2 and see what happens at QB. Could have had Levis at 12 and you still have your 33 and 1st next year. SMH

    Wasting 12 now vs wasting a pick a year from now...

    If you think the player won't work out then you have to assume it's a waste.

    Love the player, but this feels like a very bad trade.
