Thank God we didn't win the Watson sweepstakes. What an even worse disaster that would have been.

I have this thought often. And if we feel lucky, imagine how they feel in Houston.

Deshaun Watson trade, revisited
Browns receive: QB Deshaun Watson, 2024 sixth
Texans receive: 2022 first, 2022 fourth, 2023 first, 2023 third, 2024 first, 2024 fourth
Houston received three first-round picks, a third, and two fourths. The Browns also received a sixth-round pick from the Texans along with Watson.

The Texans wound up trading most of the picks received from the Browns. Here's what became of each pick:

2022 first: traded to Eagles for 2022 first, 2022 fourth, and two 2022 fifths
2022 fourth: RB Dameon Pierce
2023 first: traded to Cardinals with 2023 second, 2024 first, 2024 third for 2023 first and 2023 fourth
2023 third: traded to Rams with 2023 fifth for 2023 third and 2023 sixth
2024 first: traded to Vikings with 2024 seventh for 2024 second, 2024 sixth and 2025 second
2024 fourth: traded to Eagles with 2024 third for 2024 third (later re-acquired)
That's a lot of trades. What about the players? Here's who the Texans ended up with when the dust settled on all those trades:

G Kenyon Green
RB Dameon Pierce
EDGE Will Anderson Jr.
WR Tank Dell
CB Kamari Lassiter
LB Jamal Hill
S Caden Bullock
Additionally, the pick the Texans traded to the Eagles and later re-acquired turned into tight end Cade Stover
