$35M cap hit for one year and then you have to franchise tag him. There's absolutely a world where Houston trades him away and goes full rebuild. Having three first round picks this year alone would be quite the splash. They are bereft of talent. That's not a situation where you want $35M to go towards one player who doesn't touch the ball.
And the reason why you want the #31 pick is that it's the last one with a fifth year option.
