ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting that the compensation in the Watson trade has changed, and it benefits the Texans.
This now includes an additional 2022 4th-round pick that was not included in the initial trade agreement between the Browns and Texans. https://t.co/pw8LHmRVIL

The Texans will now receive a 2022 4th round pick that wasn't originally in the deal, and instead of sending a 5th round pick to Cleveland, the Texans will now send a 6th round pick (2024). This tweak to the trade should make Texans fans happy. Many fans were a little disappointed that the Texans would only get one extra pick from the Browns in the 2022 NFL Draft. They were hoping to jump-start the rebuild with several extra picks in this year's draft. So this is a great development for the Texans, and it makes the upcoming draft even more exciting for fans. Plus, the trade package looks a little better for Texans GM Nick Caserio. The Texans now hold multiple picks in these rounds of the 2022 NFL Draft. (1st, 3rd, 4th, 6th).
