This.The Texans own doing. When a team trades two 1st round picks and a 2nd for a player, that player's agent has the team by the balls when it comes to negotiating a new contact.

we are in need of a left tackle (and right). If we draft a franchise qb and he gets killed because our tackles suck, I bet you'd be wishing we paid Tunsil thenI cant believe that ANYONE still argues that this was a bad trade. We KILLED Houston here. Three high picks for one guy, and they took Stills too? (I liked Stills, but Ross was dying to get rid of him).
Good Lord, this was grand theft. Tunsil is in line for a 5 year, 100 million dollar contract with about 40 million guaranteed. He'll be untradable due to his cap hit.
Not even...we are in need of a left tackle (and right). If we draft a franchise qb and he gets killed because our tackles suck, I bet you'd be wishing we paid Tunsil then
I sure hope soNot even...
We will be drafting Tackles this year... at least 2 of them.
And they'll be playing on rookie deals.
I think for people to decide whether a trade is good based on who those pick ultimately net are missing the point, this is two decisions, to trade a person, and then to decide what we do with that draft capital
I think you just made @Irishfinfan1 point for him.They're always going to be linked. The Herschel Walker trade was so lopsided because of Emmitt Smith, Maryland and Woodson. If Jimmy had blown that draft and Walker put together a couple more seasons it would be judged in a different light.
If Grier is incapable of turning all the draft capital he acquired into something better than Tunsil the trade will be deemed a failure and he'll likely be out of a job. You can win every trade you ever make and have it mean absolutely nothing if you're not able to build a team from what was received in return.

They may be linked from a fan's outsider perspective, but not in reality.
If a GM is a master wheeler dealer, but not a great evaluator, the answer is not to fire the GM, but to hire better evaluators.
Hmmmm.....that sounds a lot like what we.......nevermind.......
When we speak of the GM of course we are referring to an entire cast of characters.
Okay, that's pick #1, although not Houston's. We still have all the choices that we got from the Texans. I thought Tunsil was over rated at best. I am never in favor of paying someone who feels like he is the best, but then either can't stay on the field, commits too many penalties, or doesn't play every snap like he's the best. Tunsil is upper middle of the pack of LT's not the best, Houston screwed the pooch on this one. Who's to say we don't not only draft a servicable LT, but 2 other players that contribute right away?we are in need of a left tackle (and right).
