Either way the draft is the Dolphins the next couple years.

Agreed on the Texans but two firsts and a second are a load no matter how you look at it. they could trade that #1 pick and get a ton of picks in return for it.
Doubt it; There roster is much better than 2011 and they have a very QB friendly system. Could be a nice trade partner for Dalton though next season.

Much more likely for Hyde to rebound than McCoy, assuming all things are equal.

Also consider that the division is up for grabs with Luck gone, and it was a great time to strike. I'm not a fan of the Clowney trade, but I get it. He was pretty much gone anyway with what he was asking, and they got some LB help in return.

They can rehab, during which time they will undoubtedly lose strength. Once they're cleared, and start lifting again, the strength will come back pretty quick. 

I'm just talking from observations and discussions. Sunset would probably know a hell of a lot more than me what it's like coming back from injury to lift heavy again. 

Keep in mind, this is a very young man.

I would think out of diligence to Jonah Williams being a long term investment, the Bengals would be smart to keep him on the shelf for the entirety of this season.

Far from garbage.

I'd say protecting Watson is worth more than a pair of late first rounders.

And again, I didn't like the Clowney trade. Just said that I "get it". Do you suppose they should've kept him then let him go for nothing?
