Texans trade for Mallett

[nunusguy]

In 2007 before that years draft we gave up our current years 2nd round pick, our 2nd round pick for the next year, and the equivalent of that years 4th round pick (swapping our #8 overall for the #10 overall) and received in xchange from Atlanta 26-year-old Matt Schaub. Granted Schaub had played some regular season games and was a more sought after prospect than 26-year-old Ryan Mallet is today. But what we parted with to get Mallet is nothing, especially compared with the sizable bounty that Schaub cost the Texans at that time.
The way I feel about Mallet right now is kinda the way I feel about the Texans 2014 season: I really don't know what the hell to expect, but right now it feels very exciting and there's a great anticipation for it to begin this Sunday. You know, kinda like the proverbial box of candy. You never know what you are gonna get.
