Can we stop with "huge" haul. It's a haul but it's far from huge.
The Texans got exactly ONE pick in this year's draft (#13). That's it. The 2023 1st will likely be in the 20's, could be in the upper 20's at that. Damn near a 2nd round pick. The same goes for the 2024 1st. That also means the 2023 3rd will likely be closer to a 4th, and the 2024 4th, closer to a 5th.
The Texans were in a no-win situation, partly of their own doing, but still. They got some picks, enough to take them as is or do some maneuvering, and they no longer have all the drama, well, of at least Watson that is.
I don't think they'll be getting this sunken ship pried off the seafloor in 2022, but maybe they break it loose next year? Maybe start having it rise towards the surface in '24? Maybe start seeing daylight by '25? ****, will any of us still be alive when/if they ever reach the surface?
