Yes it absolutely did. Makes the money match the priority, drafting a franchise QB as known now, CJ Stroud. In this scenario - excellent decision on both counts.
Cannot speak to the opening it afforded Texans to go and trade back up for Will Anderson, but it just show the pressure relief that accelerated such a move.
Tunsil has been by far, best Texan during rebuild, although he struggled with injury 2021 he came back healthy 2022 in a contract year, and played outstanding on a bad football team. Mason was another great signing. Nasty, smart people mover. Greene will have a chip to prove his worth, 100% fully healthy. Juice Scruggs is a mature rookie who can process & make the line calls, big upgrade where needed. Tytus Howard should finally settle into his natural position @ RT. Overall a top 15 OL compared to #26th in 2022.
Another strong supporting theme for this Texan team to surprise the NFL. My projections, there is some meat already on bone to support this, but rookies still need to acclimate and quickly but least there are necessary foundation pieces for success. Also feel Ryans saw this opportunity and the one who seized it!
