The comp picks have been announce and the Texans will be adding a third round choice (pick 98) and two sixth-rounders (picks 211 and 214).

These will be important because the Texans have no first or second rounders due to the Brock Osweiler trade and the trade up to get his replacement, Deshaun Watson.

When the dust settles, their eight picks look like this:

3rd Round (68th overall)
3rd Round (80th overall, from Seattle)
3rd Round (98th overall, compensatory)
4th Round (103rd overall)
6th Round (177th overall)
6th Round (211th overall, compensatory)
6th Round (214th overall, compensatory)
7th Round (222nd overall)

It would not surprise me if the Texans package a third plus the second rounder they obtained for 2019 and move into the second round this year to grab someone they feel they have to have.

Can the comp 3rds be traded or only their 3rds?

I believe it was determined last year that comp picks could be tradeable beginning with this year's draft - true of any round.

Best trade-up scenario to me is use #68 and #80 to move up in the 2nd round's #46-#49 range. Works well on the draft value chart. Jets have two picks in the 2nd round and one @ #49....

Otherwise, stay put and get all the bodies you can.....

We have two #2s next year and I would be happy taking one with one of this year's thirds and parlaying that for the lower 2nd of the Jets (#47). This way, we have no first, a mid-round 2nd and two thirds which makes for a decent draft if you can't have a first.

BTW, when I last tried this on Fanspeak, I had my choice at #47 on Will Hernandez of UTEP and Billy Price of Ohio State. Both are guards and we can certainly use one.

Ya, good idea. I didn't consider "borrowing" from 2019...
