[HPF Bob]

or you can bite the bullet and presume next year's offseason will suck.

Texans getting extra picks so maybe can package to move up somewhere in 2018 draft.

Texsns currently have in 2018
Picks rd 3,4,5,6,7
Plus 3 comp picks likely rd 3, and 2 in rd 6
Plus for Duane Brown from Seattle add rd 3, minus rd 5

In 2019
Picks rd 1,2,3,4,5,6,7
Plus for Duane Brown rd 2 from Seattle

Right now we need for 2017 a FA OLT and DL.

I realize might be trades and free agents, but for now appears Texans will have 3 picks in third and 1 in fourth round of draft.

For those four picks i'm leaning toward 2 for OL and 2 DB.

Appears plenty choices and good depth will be available these two positions.

Found a recent mock with all current Texans picks including comp picks.

Interesting mock but don't agree with their choice to help us at offensive tackle in 2018. Most of the other selections are very plausible.
I watched the Senior bowl game and several practices on TV and based upon what I saw of Alex Cappa he will not play tackle for anybody in the NFL this fall because he lacks the athleticism and length. In future years he might be a legit NFL prospect inside at guard or center for somebody, perhaps the Texans.
I expect the Texans to bundle one of their 2019 second-round picks with one of their 2018 third-round picks and move up somewhere into the top 40 to 50 picks and select an OT who can help them in 2018.
