How surprising, the team without a GM didn't get good value in a trade. It's almost like you need a GM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MD4L Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 It’s a good move for Houston. They should’ve prioritized LT though and I imagine Trent Williams going for a similar price if/when Washington pulls the plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKillerNacho Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 So BOB would rather give up a 3rd than rely on his previous 3rd. interesting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to lose sleep over it - the Texans are certainly getting a 3rd after Tyrann Mathieu signed with KC and a 3rd might develop from Kareem Jackson going to Denver. Price IS high, but the potential return on that investment is more than what you'd get from a 2020 3rd rounder. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_palooka Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 There is a crazy good potential 2020 class of RBs. Why waste a 3rd round pick? Don't like the value for Houston. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't like the value for Houston. It's not set that the Texans WON'T go this direction. Starting RB Lamar Miller is in the final year of his deal, and I'm pretty certain signing a RB to a 3rd contract isn't in the cards. So you'll have Duke and (insert RB here) in 2020, splitting the work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IND is dependent on Luck and JAX/TEN are facing major problems. Duke’s skill set really expands what the HOU O can do now. In that context overpaying for a RB who helps now is understandable, just that it’s an overpay regardless. The trickier part is that teams looking to sell will likely keep asking for the moon with BoB as de facto GM. That’s the long term risk - we’ve seen guys who couldn’t exercise discipline get worked over time and again. WAS’ price for Trent Williams probably went up with this deal. Time will tell if this was a one-off because of the window / opportunity / need equation this time. It’s only 1 deal so it’s not a pattern yet. Just bears watching.

I can get this, and I can imagine people are calling BOB now to try to fill in other holes they have (Cardinals trying to get a 1st for Patrick Peterson, Washington trying to get a 1st for Trent Williams, etc). I hope that BOB and the other GMs exhibit some "plate discipline" here. It's just THIS season, Nick Caserio (or someone from the Seattle tree) will keep this in check for 2020 and beyond...
