The Houston Texans don’t have a first or second round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. Both were traded to the Dolphins for a left tackle who will have a cap hit of $26 million next season after agreeing to a contract restructure. Laremy Tunsil is a cornerstone player on a 4-12 football team. I’ll keep saying it, and I’ll say it over and over again: Left tackles are important, but they aren’t that important.
Although Houston is accordingly left out of most mock drafts since they don’t have a selection in the first two rounds, they do have the ability to trade back up by sending Deshaun Watson to a new franchise.
