The Houston Texans have about a month to go before the draft and offensive line should be priority. Here are three offensive tackles they must target. Look.
The HoustonTexanshave barely made a peep in free agency — they’ve signed guys to fair but meager deals and have yet to make a huge splash. This week, which was when the legal tampering period ended and teams could exclusively negotiate with players, the HoustonTexanscame up short.
They allowedTyrann Mathieu,Kareem Jackson,Christian Covingtonand to a lesser extent,Kendall Lammall partake in the riches that were waiting for them with other teams.
With the HoustonTexanshaving $80 million or so to spend at the start of the free agency period, the team’s signings have quickly dwindled their balance to about $46 million with the bulk of the charge to pay forJadeveon Clowney‘s $17 million franchise tag for this season.
If the HoustonTexansare able to work out a long-term deal with Clowney, then their salary cap space will modestly increase a bit for 2019 and even out through a likely blockbuster multi-year deal that he’d definitely be eager to sign the dotted line on.
Whatever way, the HoustonTexanshave decided to retreat from the deep bowels of free agency and have their eyes dead-set for finding top-tier talent in the NFL Draft.
One of the most important units of this team that must be overhauled is the offensive line and the team needs draft a tackle high — especially if it’s a guy they want to take with the 23rd pick in the first round — because with the losses the line has sustained to free agency and withSeantrel Henderson‘s health continuously being a question, they’ve got to hit on a pick that’s ready to make an impact immediately.
Who exactly would that be?I’ve got a few suggestions of who the HoustonTexansshould take in this season’s draft. In fact, I’ve got three tackles that this team should target in this draft because they would serve as a philosophical fit with the HoustonTexans.
Who are they?
Come on and take this journey with me.
