Value in Hindsight
Houston traded its 2008 sixth-round pick to Denver for center Chris Myers, with Denver using No. 183 on Spencer Larsen. Myers became a durable Texans centerpiece, starting all 112 games of his Houston tenure and earning two Pro Bowls. Larsen contributed useful versatility for Denver, but Houston received substantially more long-term value. If a draft choice was moved again, the later trail can explain what the original consideration became, but unrelated success after another transaction is not credited twice. Where one historical detail remains uncertain, the evaluation uses the strongest supported description instead of filling the gap with speculation.
Final Verdict
The final call is Houston Texans Win. Denver Broncos receives C+, while Houston Texans receives A. The verdict follows the stronger supported direct return for the original club rather than unrelated value created later. The grades remain proportional to the size and certainty of the exchange, rewarding real value while keeping a measured distinction between a clear edge and an overwhelming win.
