Do you think your Texans, will be looking at how Detroit built their roster? Does Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell's decisions on draft choices - picking ready now young players at positions of need, and not to chasing expensive ageing free agent signings provide a template for you guys on how to take the next step, and how to deal with the external expectation from the media/hot take talking heads nation?
Texans did in a season what it took Detroit 3 to do, would have been two if they hadn't had that 1-6 start, get to the playoffs and show how competitive they are with a roster full of young up and coming players, and a few all pros in the making..

Lots of Texans chat around signing Saquon and Mike Evans (Galveston Ball High School) which is insanity. We are more than 2 pieces away from going deeper in the playoffs and that assumes we retain the same large group of players that just became Free Agents.
Volunteers, not Hostages as Tomlin says.
But also no Mercenaries.
I would rather build around draftees and smart FA signings.
But unlike most people on t'Internet, I am aware I am not the GM. The last couple of years has taught me to trust the process. Our most recent draft classes (away from Stroud and Anderson) is a vindication of the process.

A nice rebuttal to the talking head draftniks who flayed us for moving up to 3rd overall pick.
Demeco getting robbed of COTY by one first place vote and losing to the guy he outcoached in the playoffs. In fairness Stefanski worked miracles with no QBs to even be there.
What a great, great end to the year. Great season.
We'll be expected to be good next year and have a ton on cap space. Let's not fuck it up by signing expensive over the hill vets in the off season.
