If Houston wants a first round pick for Tunsil, you do it. Period. There's no guarantee that KC will be picking last in the first round next year, but if you have elite pass blocking... it's a much better possibility.
Chiefs will get a 3rd round comp pick for OBJ next year for sure. That helps mitigate the cost a little. Our draft picks are valuable due to Mahomes' contract, but absolutely you should expect your LT to be one of the top five highest paid positions on the team. I got ZERO problem with them putting an abundance of resources into protecting the Franchise.
Comp pick will be based on FAs acquired though, right? Or is it specific to the position (we traded to fill LT, so our LT walking = comp pick?)? [Reply]
Nah I'm not comfortable with spending another first round pick on a vet LT who we'll have to pay a big bag to. If we're gonna pay a bag we might aswell keep OBJ ffs. You can't do that and expect to keep our interior intact for much longer. It's time to draft a longterm solution now imo. [Reply]

So you dont think Brown helped with the superbowl? [Reply]
This could also be pressure on OBJs agent: “You’d better find out if he is worth what you say he is; we will move on if you don’t return to the table.” [Reply]

Send them pick 31. You can get a similar prospect at pick 62.
What would be really tasty is if you can get some draft capital BACK from the Texans this year - say, #104 - and use that to move UP in the 2nd round. You could get to around #50 that way.

Is it doable? No clue.
#31 + 2024 3rd for Tunsil and 2024 4th?
I just think it ends up a 1 and a 2 value wise somehow if it were to get done. [Reply]
No. The fact that you think they should have done some research to determine that Watson is a rapist (when he didn't start raping till after being drafted by the Texans) is just fucking bonkers, dude. [Reply]

So those elements of his personality were so innocuous that they couldn't see that he "character guy". Houston pulled the trigger and got burnt bad. If they do the Tunsil trade would further affirm they are clueless considering they'll have a rookie QB without blindside protection. [Reply]

Houston is a poorly run organization but drafting Watson is not one of those mistakes. He was probably the safest QB pick leading up to that draft. [Reply]
