The Houston Texans pulled off a savvy, multi-team trade to land wide receiver Kayshon Boutte, sending safety Jaylen Reed and a future seventh-round pick to New England — that pick originally belonged to the Saints. In March, New Orleans had traded punter Kai Kroeger and that same pick to Houston for a higher draft slot, which they used to acquire a sixth-round pick. Now, Houston gets their punter and a much-needed WR, while New Orleans upgrades its draft position and New England gains depth and another seventh-round selection. It’s a wild, interconnected web of deals showing how every move in the NFL draft is part of a bigger, strategic chess game behind the scenes.
