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.
Arizona Cardinals Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Arizona moved from No. 33 to No. 41 in 2023, exchanged third-round positions and added Tennessee's 2024 third-rounder. The Titans selected Will Levis and Tyjae Spears; Arizona's return became BJ Ojulari, Garrett Williams and Isaiah Adams. Spears has been productive, but Levis did not establish himself as Tennessee's long-term quarterback, while Williams and Adams developed into regular Arizona starters. The broader return favors the Cardinals.
