Bill O’Brien is a complete and utter moron so this post won’t take too long. As we dive into the 2020 NFL Draft for the Texans, there isn’t much to talk about. Houston blew up their draft in the Laremy Tunsil – Kenny Stills trade. They then made matters worse giving up picks for mediocre running backs and gave away DeAndre Hopkins in one of the worst trades in NFL history. Despite the fact that it’s impossible to know what birds are flying around Bill O’Brien’s head, I will do my best to try to project what they will do during the 2020 NFL Draft.
The top 3 picks the Texans have fall at 40, 57, and 97. I would guess that maybe the Texans feel comfortable with Kenny Stills, Will Fuller, and Randall Cobb. I’m guessing they probably should go offensive line and defense. Houston isn’t smart enough to take Solomon Kindley so let’s project Hakeem Adeniji. Houston needs more offensive lineman. At this point, they should just throw darts. Guard and center seem to be the biggest holes right now if Tytus Howard develops. Protect Deshaun Watson at all costs.
DJ Reader leaving in free agency leaves a huge hole at nose tackle. JJ Watt is hurt all the time and they have zero predictability up front. Someone like Leki Fotu would give the Texans a similar body. 6-foot-4, 330 nose tackle that can eat up the middle. Fotu is a tough nose tackle that fits what Houston does defensively.
Other holes the Texans can try to fill include tight end, running back, offensive line, defensive line, linebacker, pass rushers, and cornerback depth. This team stinks, to be frank. Deshaun Watson is the only thing holding them together.
