You make it sound like TJ performed up to the standards of the 16th pick and that the only reason fans don't like him is because they wanted DJ instead. Fans didn't like him because the Texans can't stop the run despite teams having trouble running at Mario. With two first round defensive tackles, fans expect more. Amobi is on thin ice with fans too.

It stopped mattering if he was worth the 16th pick the day after they drafted him.

All that mattered right now is if he was one of our best DTs. He certainly played the run better than anyone else and we gave away a player at a position of weakness right before the season for a pick we won't get use out of for 12 months.

I don't really understand that.
