Texans can improve their Cleveland pick by beating them.

When the Will Anderson trade happened, many people were wondering if the Texans would eventually regret giving up what could have been a top 10 draft pick or the unfathomable top 3 pick nightmare scenario. Rumor was that Arizona wanted the Texans pick over the Cleveland obligation. The Texans were so far behind, most figure 5-7 wins max!

In a refreshing development, by beating the Browns next week, the Texans will assure that they will end up with the better draft pick, as Arizona owns the Texans 1st round selection. Since the draft pick for playoff teams are determined how they perform in the playoffs.

Hence the Texans have a cherry on top of their cake if they can beat the Browns. The Browns have a better regular season record, but the Texans can guarantee that pick will be a pick in the early 20’s. They have the power to help establish the value of the Cleveland pick. And we all know how a few slots can cost upwards of 2nd or 3rd round picks sometimes to move up.

Getting a win next week would be so sweet after the debacle that was the past few seasons.

 

The Texans can help determine the Cleveland draft picks slot by beating them. Usually as teams win in the playoffs, their draft picks get worse (and cool thing is the Texans don’t have their own pick)
