There's certainly a deadline hangover and not all Astros fans agree on whether Houston's front office did enough to put their team over the top for a trip back to the World Series. ESPN Houston's Joel Blank and Jeremy Branham examine how the timing of the trades (occurring a full 24 hours ahead of the deadline) has played into fan perception of the moves. Click the above video to examine their thoughts on each move, trades for Trey Mancini, Christian Vasquez, Will Smith, and the critiques attached to each move.

The Houston Texans might be flying under the radar, but are they quietly building one of the NFL's best rosters? In this episode, we dive into why the Texans could have the third-best defense in the league, and whether the hype around stars like Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson Jr. is justified.
We also question Pro Football Focus and other ranking systems: Is Will Anderson being graded fairly among elite edge rushers?
Weak interior?
Are the Texans really in the low 20s for interior D-line rankings?
Plus, we talk about the latest on Juice Scruggs. Is he still in the mix, or just holding a spot with no reps? And don’t miss our take on whether the Texans have the best combo of offensive and defensive players in the NFL right now.
Watch the video below as ESPN Houston's John Granato and Lance Zierlein break it all down!
