Unpopular Opinion – Texans will still be a pretty good football team post-D.Hop trade, if not Better

Ok so first and foremost I am not condoning the trade. I understand BOB's point of view (we have to make Deshaun Watson the highest paid QB, Laremy Tunsil the highest paid OT, so cannot afford D.Hop), but the trade was utterly stupid. We could have gotten so much more for him, but that isn't the point. I believe the Texans will surprise a lot of people this season. People are writing us off because of the stupid trade (and the fact that BOB remains employed), but I think if we'll at least get David Johnson at 80% we'll be a really good team. We have to draft receivers (Tee Higgins maybe?) and build our defense, but I think David Johnson and Duke Johnson 2 head combo can/will be deadly. I also think that Deshaun will make our receiving core look a lot better than what they are. I have a huge feeling that Tim Kelly will produce a high-scoring, top 5 offense in the league and will leave us the following year for a head coaching job, since young coaches are the new wave lol
