Houston Texans Rumors: Corner, not o-line, should be the first round target

The deep offensive line class

The 2019 draft class definitely has the perception of no top tier prospect.Jonah Williamswas perceived to be that guy for a long a time but, depending on who you ask, there are a lot of questions surrounding him. Are his arms too short? Can he stick it at tackle?

TheHouston Texanshave three picks in the first two rounds and can, assuredly, get at least one, if not two starters in the second round along the offensive line.
