The Texans backfield behind Lamar Miller was wide open heading into training camp. Houston filled that vacancy with another Miami Hurricane, shipping out a conditional fourth round pick to the Browns.
The #Browns got a fourth-rounder that can become a third rounder for Duke Johnson. If it does become a third, I believe it will be the highest RB compensation since Trent Richardson went for a first.

The Texans will give up a 3rd round pick if Duke Johnson is active for 10 games.
A fair trade for both sides as the Texans add an excellent satellite back in Duke Johnson to operate in what should be a stacked offense. On the Browns side of things, it will be a full workload for Nick Chubb after an impressive rookie season . Chubb will be the feature back in Cleveland while Kareem Hunt serves his 8 game suspension and should get a nice little bump up in everyone’s fantasy draft.
