You're limiting this to non-playoff teams, as the Texans failed to make the playoffs with minutes remaining in the 4th quarter of the final regular season game last year, ok. And I'm sure your definition of 'success' will get far more restrictive after reading this post. So how about I limit it further to players other non-playoff teams have acquired from just the Texans in recent years to significantly build a roster?

Here's three off the top of my head: Mario Williams (Bills), Glover Quin (Lions), Connor Barwin (Eagles).
