With Brock Osweiler and Lamar Miller now in Houston, the two biggest needs of the offseason have been addressed. Who now with the Texans look at with their first round pick?
The biggest needs now are along the offensive and defensive lines. There already had been some talk about taking an interior defensive lineman in the first, but with two offensive linemen lost to free agency, that also becomes a pressing need. However, the draft class is skewed more toward the defensive players in the first round so that’s why I think the Texans are more likely to go with a defensive player than an offensive player, but here are four possibilities for the Texans at #22:
1. Kenny Clark, DT, UCLA
The former Bruin is an athletic, disruptive force on the interior. At 6-2 and 314 pounds he has good size and can hold up at nose and is really quick and agile for his size. He had 11 tackles for loss and six sacks last season as well as five passes batted down. He is also a rock solid run defender and could be just what the Texans need behind Vince Wilfork at nose tackle.
