Did the Houston Texans draft decision makers really need to trade the 57th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft to the Los Angeles Rams for a future fourth-round pick and wide receiver Brandin Cooks? The answer is simple … no.
In fact, the Houston Texans draft process would have been better if they would have just kept the second-round pick and built their team with younger players for less money, rather than trade for Cooks.
Cooks is on the team for the next four seasons, unless the Texans opt out of the contract after this upcoming season, but this year alone they are paying the 26-year old wide receiver $8 million.
