If the Texans "had to take the hit", wide receiver was probably a good spot for it. We still have Hopkins, Strong and Miller and just need to find a few pass catchers lurking in training camp.
I suspect the Texans are going to be more of a running team this year as they beef up the OL, split time between Miller, Freeman and Hunt - possibly going to more 2-TE fronts as a way of protecting Savage and Watson as they learn the position. The less they need to depend on their QBs by giving them manageable third down situations, the easier it will be for the offense to sustain drives.
Of course, they're hiding in Hillbillyworld now so this is all speculation on my part but it makes sense.
