Examining the Texans 3 Biggest Moves this Week

Texans GM Nick Caserio was a busy man this week as he made multiple moves in trying to improve this roster. Caserio made near 30 moves in free agency and trades. In the post below we will examine the 3 biggest moves by the Texans this week.


1. Texans trade LB Benardrick McKinney to the Dolphins for DE Shaq Lawson and swap of late of late of round picks

Analysis : The Texans had a decision on their hands as McKinney was due nearly 8 million and did not fit the defensive scheme. The Texans were able to find a trade partner in the Dolphins and were able to land Shaq Lawson . Lawson should be a better fit in the new Texans 4-3 defense and brings some much needed help.


2. Texans trade 4th and 6th round picks to the Patriots OL Marcus Cannon and picks

Analysis : The Texans needed help along their offensive line as they gave up 44 sacks last year. Nick Caserio knew Cannon from his time with the Patriots and ended up trading for him this offseason. Cannon can either play tackle or guard but is best inside where he can open up holes in the running game.


3. Texans sign Tyrod Taylor to a 1 yr contract

Analysis : With the uncertainty surrounding the Deshaun Watson situation, the Texans smartly scooped up Taylor. Taylor has some connections on the staff as he was coached by QB coach Pep Hamilton and HC David Culley. In Taylor the Texans get a savvy veteran QB who rarely turns the ball over and always has his team competing.

Texans Mock Draft 1.0

Hello and welcome my fellow Houston Texans fans, these past few years have been quite the rollercoaster ride with the departure of many beloved Texans like DeAndre Hopkins and JJ Watt. The Texans star quarterback Deshaun Watson is also very disgruntled with the franchise and has asked for a trade. New GM Nick Caserio has his work cut out for him this offseason. One of the main events of the offseason is the NFL draft and although the Texans don't have a 1st or a 2nd round pick due to the Laremy Tunsil trade there is still a lot of great gems in this draft class. Below I have put together a mock draft for each pick the Texans have. Round 3 : Pick 67 Ifeatu Melifonwu  CB, Syracuse The Texans have a huge need at corner as they were torched badly last year in the secondary. Add in Melifonwu who is a  long, rangy, athletic, and physical corner that is a great fit for new defensive coordinator's Lovie Smith's Tampa 2 defense. Round 4 : Pick 109 Patrick Jones II EDGE, Pittsburgh W...

Lawsuits Surrounding Deshaun Watson

Hello Texans fans I am sure many of you all have heard about the lawsuits against Texans star QB Deshaun Watson. It's surprising to hear Watson's name being brought up in something other than trade rumors. In the 16 or so filed lawsuits , Deshaun Watson is accused of allegedly sexually assaulting women who he contacted for a massage.  Houston Lawyer Tony Buzbee who is representing the defendants has said that he has some strong evidence regarding the situation. Representing , Watson is also another prominent Houston lawyer in Rusty Hardin.  This situation currently monitors a lot of time and close eyes. There is no telling what may occur. In the situation, Watson is found guilty there would be quite the reaction by the media. He may never play football again and in turn may ruin his career. These are some very serious allegations and it is important to wait and see what unfolds.

Examining the Texans Depth Chart on Offense Post Free Agency

Hello Texans fans today we will be taking a look at the Texans depth chart on offense following free agency.   QB - Deshaun Watson , Tyrod Taylor , Ryan Finley There are quite a lot of questions surrounding the Texans at the quarterback position in regard to the Deshaun Watson trade rumors and sexual misconduct lawsuits. The Texans were wise to bring in Tyrod Taylor who is a strong leader and fierce competitor and will most likely start for the Texans this year. Ryan Finley is also someone who has great traits and is a fine backup.   RB - David Johnson, Mark Ingram, Phillip Lindsay, Buddy Howell, Dontrell Hilliard, Scottie Phillips The Texans had quite the overhaul here bringing in Ingram and Lindsay who should help this stagnant run game. David Johnson also returns and showed some promise towards the end of the season. Howell, Hilliard, and Phillips should compete for a special teams’ spot or on the practice squad.   WR - Brandin Cooks , Randall Cobb , Keke Coutee, Isaia...
