If you stuck it out and watched how the 3rd Round of the 2020 NFL Draft played out on Friday night, you probably noticed that Houston Texans GM Bill O’Brien was visibly upset just before making the No. 90 overall pick.
According to a report from John McClain, O’Brien was furious because the Texans had a deal to send the 90th pick to the Detroit Lions but Lions GM Bob Quinn backed out at the last second, forcing O’Brien to make a pick.

Well, we will assume the Lions and Texans will not be making any deals anytime soon!
Note: When asked about this, Bob Quinn denied having any trade in place.
