Hey folks -

r/NFL_Draft did a 3-round mock draft today that included trades, and I thought I'd share the results for our Houston Texans. I wasn't the GM, but was in the "war room" and we had an absolute blast (and a kickass draft imo). Here are the highlights (note: some of the trade assets were received after other teams had traded already, i.e. PIT made a trade for Russell Wilson):

PRE-DRAFT TRADES:

1. Tunsil Trade:
   1. HOU receives: 1.25, 2023 2nd-rd pick
   2. CIN receives: Laremy Tunsil
2. Deshaun Watson Trade:
   1. HOU receives: 1.20 (via PIT), 2023 1st-rd pick, 2023 1st-rd pick (via PIT), 2023 3-rd pick (via PIT), LB/S Tanner Muse (lol)
   2. SEA receives: Deshaun Watson
3. Justin Reid Trade (in this scenario, we would franchise tag Reid, then trade him, which makes him eligible for trade, despite him being a FA):
   1. HOU receives: 2023 4th-rd pick (could be a 3rd-rounder based on conditions)
   2. CAR receives: Justin Reid

So, after all trades, we had these picks in this draft (2022):

• 1.3, 1.20 (Watson trade), 1.25 (Tunsil trade), 2.35, 3.67, 3.82 (via NO)

DRAFT SELECTIONS (Linked a highlight video for each player):

• 1.3 - Kyle Hamilton (S - Notre Dame)
• 1.20 - Devin Lloyd (LB - Utah)
• 1.25 - Kenyon Green (IOL - Texas A&M)
• 2.35 - Nicholas Petit-Frere (OT - Ohio State)
• 3.67 - Drake Jackson (EDGE - USC)
• 3.82 - Isaiah Spiller (RB - Texas A&M)

Overall, pretty awesome value for our team. Would love to know what y'all think!
