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, Isaiah Coulter, Andre Roberts, Chris Moore, Alex Erickson, Chris Conley, Donte Moncrief, Steven Mitchell Jr

The Texans made quite a few pickups at receiver but most of them are special teams’ players in Roberts, Moore, and Erickson the rest are practice squad players in Conley,Moncrief and Mitchell. The Texans do bring back Cooks, Cobb and Coutee who looked solid last season. They hope to see more of Coulter who did not play last season but has great potential.

TE- Jordan Akins, Pharaoh Brown, Kahale Warring, Ryan Izzo , Paul Quessenberry

This group remains the same at the top with Akins and Brown who are a solid 1-2. Warring needs to put it together this year or he may be in trouble as Izzo may compete with him for that 3rd spot. Quessenberry is practice squad player.

 

OL - Laremy Tunsil, Max Scharping , Justin Britt, Marcus Cannon, Tytus Howard, Charlie Heck , Roderick Johnson, Jordan Steckler, Beau Benzschawel, Cohl Cabral, Cole Toner, Justin McCray, Hjalte Froholdt

Most of these names are practice squad players or just going to be cut after training camp. Tunsil and Howard are two bookend tackles. Cannon should slot in nicely at guard as well as Scharping. Britt could be a bit rusty but should ultimately start at center. Heck and Johnson are solid swing tackles and McCray, and Toner should provide some good depth.

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.
