Texans Trade for Raiders CB Gareon Conley

Sounds like a steep price for his resume.

I love it that we're waiting an entire year to pay some Patriot flunky to be our next GM and when he finally signs, he won't have a single frickin' draft pick to use. Genius!

Word is all Conley knew at OSU in college was man but Oakland put him in zone coverage so he's a man guy who should be more comfortable here as RC runs primarily man coverage.
And Chucky wanted his own guys in Oakland. This guy started quite a few games over two years in Oakland.
We are really hurting at cornerback with Roby out for several more weeks and J-Joe also injured.
He's inexpensive and still under contract with like three years left. It dosen't look like a bad deal. We will see soon enough because as thin as we are now at corner look for him to play immediately against his X-team this Sunday.

I believe Caserio's contract with the Patriots runs until after the 2020 draft, so his first draft in Houston wouldn't be until 2021. But at this rate, your scenario could definitely still play out then...

I'm okay with the trade, but I can't help but think about the big draft press conference where the top pick is flown in and is presented with the jersey while the team gushes with optimism -- for a 4th rounder. I know that they're projected to get a 3rd round compensatory pick, but still.
