That aged like milk

By most accounts Texans would've taken Stroud at #1

No idea if this would've impacted the trade up to #3 though (I doubt it)

Still such a shrewd move by the team to make sure they got their cornerstones at QB and DE. They trusted DeMeco to ensure they wouldn't have a pick that high again for a while.

It was shocking at the time that Houston dealt their own first vs the one from Cleveland. Most didn’t expect Houston to make the PO. In fact most would say it was likely a pick from 5-12. But credit Ryan’s for doing such as great job.

At the time neither Car or Hou were great situations. Just by on field talent Houston at least had Tunsil at LT. IKwonu still a work in progress with his pass pro.
