Houston Texans
QB/WR ranked: N/A
Whew, Bill O’Brien really is the worst thing in football, huh?
After getting the GM in Houston fired and usurping his power, B.O.B has quickly destroyed the Texans’ short- and long-term value. This is the perfect tweet to really clarify just how bad he has been:
Since August 31st, the Texans have traded away 12 players/picks and acquired 15 players/picks. A look at them all in composite: pic.twitter.com/NqI77GEa9I

The highlights of that list are the Texans giving up TWO 1st round draft picks, TWO, 2nd round draft picks, a 3rd round draft pick, a Pro Bowl EDGE, and a potentially Hall of Fame WR in his prime.
On the other side, the Texans’ biggest returns were Laremy Tunsil who they made the highest paid tackle in the NFL and a 2nd round pick.
Honestly, for whatever you think about Deshaun Watson, if the Texans had Paxton Lynch at QB throwing to Nuk Hopkins it would have been hard to exclude him from the top-10.
For a team that has had elite receivers for nearly all of their existence, the Texans now find themselves with a disgruntled quarterback without a real WR1 to throw to. They chose to take themselves off of this list, and they may be the only team in the NFL that can say that.
