Grading Texans draft

[Nconroe]

Just looking at overall team statistics at NFL.COM, noticed on offense, Texans had fourth best running offense last year. And on defense, Texans were seventh overall in yds allowed and second in pass defense.

So consistency of roster and staff may be a good thing.

Then we only had six draft picks to prioritize. We took two for defense.

Most are mentioning we didn't really replace Krick at DE. But we did add a NT for the DL.

On defense these days the team playing and situation changes if have some combination of NT against run and DE against pass with pass rush in the game. And a flexible 290-300 point DL might play DE or DT depending.
