The Houston Texans have filled out their roster with what general manager Nick Caserio considered “singles and doubles” in free agency. Now that the signing period has died down, the Texans can focus on the draft.
Houston’s problems with the draft are manifold. Firstly, they don’t have but one pick in the top-100 at No. 67 overall in Round 3. Additionally, there was a reason they went 4-12 and why they have a new coach and new general manager; they’re awful and in need of a rebuild. The Texans probably don’t have a position they can afford to avoid, except possibly tackle, tight end, and running back.
Here is a ranking of the Texans’ draft needs after free agency as identified by Mark Schofield of the Touchdown Wire. It comes with a caveat. If the Texans can pull off a blockbuster trade involving Deshaun Watson, and they are still picking for the first time in the third round, quarterback is not a big need. It would be best to wait until 2022 to fix it and ride out the team’s 20th season of existence with Tyrod Taylor and Ryan Finely.
