Once the Clowney trade is official, the Texans will have zero players left from the 2014 Draft, where they had the top pick in each round. Many justified not picking a QB earlier because they had to “build up the roster” before fully investing in a QB. I will never let this go.

Every time the Texans play poorly this season, my immediate thought is the lack of draft picks to improve the team in 2020 and 2021
