It wouldn’t make sense to me to trade away a bookend LT if you’re drafting QB at the top of the first, but what do I know.

For a team as raw as they are, it wouldn't be beyond reason to move Tunsil for a 2nd this year and 1st next from KC as it might give them some liberty to move around the draft.

Take your QBotF at #2 then try to trade up from #12 to #10 with your 4th-round pick to grab your LTotF. Take an ER at #33 then use KC's pick and one of your 3rds to go up for a WR in the 2nd but modest enough to get a 4th-round kickback. Try to snag a DL in the 3rd. I think that goes a long way toward building a respectable base.

Next year you have three picks in the 1st, you could probably kick one of those down the road another year by moving it if you want to keep the 2 1sts train going much like Philly did last year.

We'd have to use our 3rd and get a low 5th high 6th back. That's the trade value on the chart anyways. Not good.

doubt this is more than a pipe dream, but if HOU would take our 31st pick for Tunsil, Veach should do that deal instantaneously and run away as fast as possible before HOU tries to take it back, lol. Maybe the best pass-pro LT in the NFL for the 31st pick? Man, I wish Billy was still their GM.

I cannot talk myself into any convoluted reasoning that might drive the Texans to be willing to trade Tunsil. Tons of cap room. New hopefully franchise QB starting this fall. They'd be nuts.

Also I would really hope Clark Hunt isn’t dumb enough to pass on securing Patrick Mahomes’ left tackle of the future just because he wants to have a first round pick in the KC draft.

Fortunately I don’t believe he’s that dumb and I believe he would find the value of protecting his number one asset higher than getting some cheers from the home crowd on draft night.

If Tunsil doesn’t wanna sign an extension.

Well, it is HOU we're talking about. It's not like it'd be a huge stretch as far as boneheaded decisions they've made over the last 5-6 years. Technically, it wouldn't even be the worst decision they've ever made.

You gotta think Clark would nix any deal that kills their 1st this year.

Clark has already said in interviews that the draft being in KC would not prevent them from trading out of it.

They could bring Tunsil & Mahomes on stage to explain the trade in front of the KC draft audience.

Tunsil is a plus add but the Texans would have to be ****ing insane to trade him.

Make him a big enough offer and he'll sign.

Yeah, but Easterby is gone now, and General Manager Bill O'Brien is long gone. They have seemed a lot less meth-heady lately in the way they operate.

He’s said he wants to be the highest paid LT

I’m assuming they’ll do that but if they could trade him, take a rookie qb and a rookie LT they like it would help their window

Yeah, but what if Billy left a bag of meth in his desk? I mean, we can hope, right?

A first is probably worth kicking the can for another couple years on LT.

You figure a late 1st round LT probably has a 50/50 shot at being good best case.

Securing 2 years with Tunsil, puts us close to SB contention for another two years. Seems worth it, IMO.

Then you just have to address DE/DL/WR the remainder of FA and the draft.
