Paying Reeves the big contract to be a dime is the thing that confuses this for me. 20MM is a high price for a guy that is your 3rd or 4th best player at a position (8MM guaranteed, please) , and the 1st really bad move made by Smith.
Dunta (and I am making a big assumption here) comes back and gets a big payday, Reeves is getting a big payday, and then you add a another 1st round pick to this mix. And my nickle is Bennett? I see cap trouble coming...
BTW Vinny, good to see you back on our board, have missed your take on things.

Reeves will be at worst the nickle back unless he just lays an egg on the field. with the money they invested in him they have to think he is the real deal. i am not going to say it was a bad move by smith yet, especially since he hasn't even suited up in a texans uniform yet. i think smith and kubs have earned the benefit of the doubt on player evaluation up to this point, so unless/until Reeves is a bust on the field i am going to hold my assesment. I do think having reeves pretty much means that the odds of taking cb in the first round are low. i think if there is a LT there they like they take him, even if a corner is there that they have rated the same. otherwise i think they will be trying to trade the pick.
