Benjamin leaves it open as to whether the Texans go with the quarterback-pass rusher or quarterback-receiver combination in Round 1. What does not get addressed in the first round should be in the second.
Rather than wait until the second selection of Round 2, the Texans are proactive and strike a deal with the Seattle Seahawks. Houston sends Nos. 33 (Round 2), 65 (Round 4), and 161 (Round 5) to the Seahawks for their 20th overall pick. If they want a receiver, USC’s Jordan Addison and TCU’s Quentin Johnston should be available. If they desire a pass rusher, Clemson’s Myles Murphy, Georgia’s Nolan Smith, or even Iowa State’s Will McDonald could be available.
The Texans get their Round 2 selection a bit early, and have the flexibility of a fifth-year option on the contract. The move does not dip into any of next year’s capital, and it only cost them a couple Day 3 picks.
