He’s speaking as a Rams’ fan.I don't think it's a good idea to trade a young running back that has shown he can have success in this league for a 5th or 6th round prospect.

OK. Speaking as a Texans fan I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't do it for a 4th rounder unless the Rams (or another team) eat most, if not all of his salary.He’s speaking as a Rams’ fan.
The Athletic just posted their fantasy database with a lot of internal polls for fun stuff like sleepers at every position and panel of nine had a Texan RB selected three times, most of any, and it wasn’t Mark Ingram.
Hint, guy with most trade value.
The stats I've seen is that drafting in the 4th round will net you about a 6% chance you've drafted a consistent starter (80 games started over 5 years, according to the study I read). That rate drops in each round following the 4th round by about 2%.
The Texans will probably have issues scoring points in 2021. Do you want to further eat into the offensive production by trading Lindsay for a 6% chance or less of drafting a future starter? That's the question.
For me, I'm not that passionate about the answer to that question because I feel the Texans are going to be borderline unwatchable this year regardless of any decision they make going forward regarding the talent on this team. Nevertheless, it's an interesting question and because I do find some entertainment value in watching the Texans play and be at least competitive, I lean towards not trading the Texans most promising running back, IMO.
Makes sense to me. This line of thinking had me expecting the Texans would practically trade out of the 2021 draft to accumulate picks in the 2022 draft.What is it you can get for Lindsay? This year is a throw away year whether some choose to admit it or not. So anything that helps the building process along for next year and beyond, I say go for it.

But that didn't happen.
So regardless what any of us think or believe, the Texans, Nick Caserio in particular, aren't acting like 2021 is a throw away season.
I want them to treat like a throw away. They're not acting like it's a throw away. That's what's frustrating me.
None of the RBs on the roster is a cheap rental.For a legitimate Super Bowl contender, like the Rams, that don’t even make it to training camp without losing projected feature back, your all in on finding his replacement, even if it means overpaying.
Far as I know sneaky Nick, paid nothing to the Broncos who didn’t match so only cost Texans around 3 million one year. So he’s a one year rental on the cheap. If blows up here or there he’s going to get paid next year.
Texans are not contenders they are starting over. Not saying I wouldn’t like to keep Lindsay and see how it works out but if opportunity knocks, Caserio will listen.
