True because Head Coach O'Brien has to deal with those headaches 6 months of the year while GM O'Brien only has to sign them once a year at most. So GM O'Brien is removing headaches for Head Coach O'Brien who objects to baby mamas hanging around practice or bellyaching to renegotiate contracts.

Plus, Head Coach O'Brien is secure in knowing that he'll never be fired by GM O'Brien so he can vote anyone off his island whenever he feels like it. Apparently, anyone who offers a second-rounder and a fourth-rounder for anyone on the Texans roster is golden.

With such a deep and talented WR draft class, this trade boggles my mind. We could have gotten Cooks for a 4th or 5th rounder.
Now all the WR are speedsters, zero diversity in the WR Corp.

Not to mention concussion history of Cooks, and injury history of Fuller.

I still think we’ll draft a WR in the second or third, hoping for Tee Higgins.
