If you re-read the the OP, the picks are a low 2nd and a low 3rd, so that would mean the Texans would not pick in the first, have two picks in the low second, one pick in the high third (thanks to the Ryans trade), one pick in the low third and two picks in the fourth (one due to the Ryans trade).

The idea being that no need is so glaring that we need to spend a first-rounder on it but we would have two picks each in the second, third and fourth where we can build a lot of depth without spending a lot of money. Then we'd have solo picks in the last three rounds to get things like a FB, PK and OL depth that ought to still be around.

I wanted to give the "trade down" crowd something to latch onto but with an offer that was intentionally not a great trade so they might consider whether it was really worth trading down so far.
