I'm not very happy about giving away our 2nd and 3rd, one for a good player at LT, but not a young player, and one for a player that's not even here anymore... Not happy about it ...

Hard to blame seattle for gambling though. Unlike, say, the Packers, the front office was trying to maximize their SB-chances during their best window. To do it, they traded away a lot of picks over the last 5 or 6 eyars. In 2013, Seattle traded a 1st, 7th, and 2014 3rd for Percy Harvin. In 2015, they traded a 1st for Jimmy Graham. In 2017, they traded a 2nd for Sheldon Richardson and a 3rd and 2019 2nd for Duane Brown.

The Texans are as boom/bust a franchise from here on out as one can be. Watson's development is not at all set in stone and that roster needs a lot of help outside of skill positions.

Not having a 1st or 2nd round pick isn't gonna help them at all. Unless they trade into the 1st or 2nd round, I see another lackluster year in Houston.

I think I have them pegged as a bust team as well. That TD% is unsustainable for Watson (his deep accuracy isn't actually good) and his INT% is actually high. His peak play is awesome of course, but that Houston team is going to need him to play like an MVP to give them a chance against some good teams out there. Not saying I think Watson is a bust, but he's not a top 10 QB yet either and that team just isn't very good.

Hopkins and Fuller though will be fun for fantasy.

Fuller is regression candidate he was like 2 catches to one td ratio

I think this is the start of a real slump for the Seahawks.

generic "lingering health problems" presser coming up in the next 14 months for Pete.

Yeah, if you have a window you gotta try and give yourself the best chance, I"m not a fan of giving away draft picks though, you find your team very quickly pushing the cap with aging players... At the time I liked the Percy Harvin deal because our team was in place, cap was good, players were all young, but in retrospect he only really had 1 good game for us, it so happened it was the Super-Bowl which was cool, but in the long run looking back we should a kept Golden Tate OMG, Tate was such a good player for us.... Pete has rolled the dice and lost lately, and now not having a 2nd or 3rd round pick is painful... My guess is we trade down for more picks...

Without checking, the Browns have to have the most picks in the first 2 rounds in recent history. Specifically, 4 of the first 35.
