He's improving year over year, which is what you want to see out of a young T... Those are his CAREER bests. Compared to the rest of the league and PFF numbers, those are C- and D- grades.

ET80 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Just now, AFlaccoSeagulls said: to be fair, although those are career bests, where do those rank compared to other starting LT's? It could still very well mean he's average. 11th among Ts. Ahead of Trent Williams and Trent Brown, the only other Ts that were reasonably available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he's the youngest guy on that list, so there's upside to tap into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD4L Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 The Texans May or May have not set themselves back 5 years in one day of trades. They better be good this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MD4L Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Regardless of his performances he’s a good young tackle who’s contract is about to expire. He’s going to get paid. It just so happens that DeShaun will also get paid in about two years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showtime Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 What's the point of trading Tunsil for a first rounder? The guy is one of the up and coming LT's in this league. Is this purely a 'we don't want to pay him when his contract is due' move for the Dolphins? On a side note, I remember Tunsil kind of sliding a bit in the draft because of some off-field stuff that came out kinda close to the draft. Really glad to see him stay clean and produce on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajayii Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) LOL at everyone underestimating Tunsil. He gave up 1 sack in 24 games. He shut down Mack and Clowney in back to back weeks last year. Find five better LT's in the league.

I can agree with this, 100%. Given the compensation for Tunsil, I don't think the Clowney move would be necessary. It isn't like those picks were flipped in the deal. It's an all in move, and you don't go all in unless you know you have the best hand on the board - I can't say the Texans are there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was more a move to ensure they have all the ammunition they need to get their QBOTF in either 2020 or 2021. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerica Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Tunsil is a top-10 LT just entering his prime. Obvious overpayment but that doesn’t take anything away from his ability. Some of yall need to lay off the weed 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So? It just matters that he continues to get better, which is what he's doing. He's still on a rookie deal. If he plays really well this season, they can sign him to an extension and he can be the LT for the future for him. He's probably better than a player they could get with that first rounder, considering they're maybe a playoff team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
