Arizona Cardinals and Houston Texans
Houston Texans Win Tier: major
Confidence: high
Houston paid a premium to move from No. 12 to No. 3 for Will Anderson Jr., sending Arizona additional 2023 and 2024 premium picks. Anderson has 30 sacks in three seasons, won 2023 Defensive Rookie of the Year, earned 2025 first-team All-Pro honors and received a major extension. Arizona converted its return into several young pieces, including Darius Robinson, but none has matched Anderson’s impact. Hindsight now favors Houston despite the original price.
Philadelphia sent Houston a 2024 third-round pick for No. 105 in the 2023 draft and selected cornerback Kelee Ringo. Ringo played all 51 regular-season games over his first three seasons with eight starts, an interception and five passes defensed. Houston preserved the higher future draft asset, which became pick No. 86 before another trade. The direct exchange produced legitimate value for both sides and remains essentially even.
