Texans trade down from #3. Davis Mills struggles with mobility and deep balls, and the Texans have a top 5 left tackle. Why not take a chance on Deshaun Watson without the baggage?

The Texans traded down not needing a 4-3 guy for their 3-4 defense and landed the guy with more upside. Johnson can do it all and is still raw. Great fit for Houston.

The Texans had the worst rushing defense in the league. Brisker is quick and can generate tackles in the backfield.

Again, Texans have an absolutely awful run defense and need a core upgrade. Draft Walker, who is versatile and can fill in wherever he's needed.

Johnson and Burkhead are both over 30. The Texans need fresh legs to mix into the rotation and Breece Hall is a powerhouse with a 40" vertical and a knack for touchdowns.

If you're gonna draft a QB, you need a security blanket and Ruckert average 10 yds/cmp at Ohio State. Would be a good pickup to work with Willis.
