Which is better for the Houston Texans: Draft picks or Laremy Tunsil?

The Houston Texans a couple years ago made a franchise altering decision when the front office decided to trade two first round picks (2020 and 2021), a second round selection (2021), Johnson Bademosi, and Julién Davenport to the Miami Dolphins for left tackle Laremy Tunsil, wide receiver Kenny Stills, a 2020 fourth round pick and a 2021 sixth round pick.

Some of that has already been paid by the Houston Texans as the first round pick they traded to the Dolphins (26th overall) for ’20 was used by Miami in another trade with the Green Bay Packers, eventually leading them to drafting cornerback Noah Igbinoghene from Aubrun with the 30th overall selection.
