IMO Miami needs to be very careful on trading the picks they own from Hou on next year’s draft. These two picks could be potentially high and it is ironic that just 8 months ago, we were making a trade to Hou, tanking, with the future unclear. In the big picture, Hou keeps trading picks, they only have 3 of the first 170, their Oline is a mess, defense aging, Watson is unhappy, and they might not be able to keep Tunsil. It is a perfect scenario for them to implode and give us very high picks.
 
Very good point. I do recall we didn't expect them to do nearly as well as they did in '19, either. But if they lose Watson, what you are suggesting seems likely. Depending on who they replace him with?
 
I still think their pick is in the mid 20s in 2021. Watson will play his heart out but could see them dropping off in 2022 which won’t affect us.

I agree with you 100% that the 2021 Texans picks could become very valuable.

The Houston 2021 Draft picks might become even more valuable if Grier is somehow able to take adavantage of Bill O'Brien again and manages to trade for Deshaun Watson for something like this years pick #5 plus pick #18 or #26, the 2021 Dolphins first round pick and Xavien Howard.
 
I don’t think Watson goes anywhere Clearly, this will be O’Brien’s last year before someone comes into the save the team. Hopefully at that time, things are in disarray. My post was done because I hope Miami values this pick as a high pick. That way, they either keep it, or leverage it as a potential high pick next year (maybe even using it as a top 10 pick in a draft chart)
 
My excitement about both HOU 2021 picks went through the roof once they traded Hopkins away.

IMO they overachieved significantly last season and w/o Hopkins aren’t likely to do so again. They won numerous games they easily could have lost. Something like 6 or 7 close games.

I know they just landed Brandin Cooks, but he won’t draw the same attention nor make the same clutch possession plays as Hop.

If anything were to happen to Watson injury wise, look out. It very well could be a top 5 draft pick.
 
Bottom ten team.They lost Reader their best run stopper,Buoye their best db,I believe Hyde their best rb.
Their horribly coached and have horrific o-lline.Watson is awesome,but he is only one man

I agree, As long as they have Watson and assuming he stays healthy I still see them winning 9 or 10 games and the Dolphins ending up with a pick in the late teens or early 20’s with the pick they receive from the Texans in the first round.
If Watson goes down early in the season I could see the Dolphins ending up with a top 5 pick in that case.
 
Definitely not a harmonious group in Houston. Talented QB that doesn’t appear to be going anywhere right now until they find new leadership.

BOB has been treated like he’s BB by ownership but it doesn’t appear he garners any respect from the players.

I am not moving their picks unless I have too.

Those picks could be gold. It really depends on Watson. He has proven time and time again he is a winner. While if be pleasantly surprised if it was a top ten pick ,I have stifled my expectations. Just be content and see how it plays out. That was my approach heading into 2020 amd it worked out just fine.
 
I do agree with Watson brings to the game...even still...it's not crazy to think there's at least a 50/50 shot Houston falls apart next season.
