So it might as well be a hell of a lot more beneficial that we find out next stud WR through the draft. Just wondering.

Here's the closest measuring stick... The Falcons moved up 21 spots to #6 last year to select Julio Jones. To do so, they gave up their 2011 #1, #2, #4, and their 2012 #1 and #4. IMO, we'd have to go higher than that to get Blackmon. That is a steep price to pay and I don't think there's any way the Texans would do it, nor should they.

Just as an FYI, Torrey Smith was taken at pick 26 in the 2nd round and who wouldn't love to have him right now...?? You don't have to give up your draft to find a good player.
