Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
New Orleans moved from pick 16 to 13 for tackle Jammal Brown, sending Houston a future third-rounder in addition to the lower first. Brown became a two-time Pro Bowler and first-team All-Pro for the Saints. Houston selected Travis Johnson at 16 and later Eric Winston at 66; Winston became a durable starting tackle. Both clubs created substantial value, making the exchange unusually balanced in hindsight.
Trade 2 of 2
Houston Texans received 2010 6th round pick (197th overall, Trindon Holliday). Houston received a 2010 sixth-round pick that became No. 197 Trindon Holliday, giving the Texans a later draft asset from the exchange. That result supports a C+ for Houston Texans. The overall comparison favors Los Angeles Chargers, leaving Houston Texans on the weaker side of the exchange. The grade reflects the realized player service and draft value tied directly to this transaction, without assigning extra credit for outcomes that cannot be traced confidently to the exchanged assets.
