The most common line of thought for the Houston Texans after selecting Tytus Howard in round one to solve the left tackle problem is to turn eyes to the secondary, I agree with this, obviously. However, there are other spots on the offensive side of the ball that the team could look at to build a better winner around Watson.

The Texans boast one of the game’s best receivers in DeAndre Hopkins, behind him there is a lot of potential but also a lot of question marks. Will Fuller has proven to be a terrific complement to Hopkins but can’t stay on the field. Keke Coutee has promise but is showing the same concerns.

So, the team could look to target a guy like J.J. Arcega-Whiteside on day two help alleviate those issues. He is a big receiver who is adept at high pointing the ball and bringing in the catch for his quarterback.

The biggest concern with him was speed and answered that in a resounding way at his pro day when he ran in the 4.4s. JJAW could be a great complement to what Hopkins bring and provide yet another red zone weapon for Watson.

Another guy the Houston Texans can target for help for Watson is tight end Jace Sternberger from Texas A&M. Dawson Knox would also fit the ball from Ole Miss.
