Let's see how Brown plays this year before we jump to conclusions about this being a good/bad pick in the 1st round.

I think this is more of a response to the Todd McShay's and other draft geniuses hammering the Texans for "reaching" on Brown, who everyone thought was a mid-2nd at best.

Whether Brown turns out to be a good or bad pick remains to be seen, but the idea that the Texans could've traded back again and still gotten Brown seems to be killed by Turner's statement.
