I see the OT position as a quandary. Brown is a no brainier, if he stays healthy he will be the OT for a long time. But the RT is still in flux.

Can Newton recover and have a sophomore jump in his play, a big if with a repaired patella tendon. Even if he recovers, the team sent a huge message by drafting an OT in the 3rd round. Most likely if healthy the future swing guy.

And now the 3rd round guy, Williams is having a hard time getting on the field due to a fluke injury. It is real early and we have a very small amount of data on the kid, but the kid has to get out of the tub or he maybe a redshirt guy on the IR. (He has months to get healthy and make an impression, I get that). He fits the part on paper, long arms, good feet, and a monster run blocker.

The surprise find is Quessenberry, he fits the ZBS and he can play inside and outside. Which is very valuable on game day. He and Jones should be penciled in as the backups that suit up on game days this season.

I am also intrigued to see Mondek during open practices and preseason games, how much has he progressed.

I consider most of the rest as roster fillers so they can practice 3rd and 4th teams during camp. Someone may surprise, and force an unpleasant roster move for the Texans, but unlikely. We will see one or two of these guys make the PS come September.
