13 Houston Texans: Cedric Ogbuhei, OT, Texas A&M
The Texans have won too many games to be in contention for one of the top three quarterbacks. Instead, they'll have to make an upgrade elsewhere, and one area they could consider is the right tackle position. Derek Newton has looked like a human turnstile this season, so Houston could consider bolstering its blocking.

Pick change; previously Landon Collins, S

45 Houston Texans: Shawn Oakman, DE/DT, Baylor
The Texans have struggled against the run this year because they miss Antonio Smith, whom they failed to replace this past offseason. Here's an upgrade who will make their defensive front even more formidable.

Pick change; previously Danny Shelton, NT

77 Houston Texans: Wayne Lyons, CB, Stanford
The Texans wanted to address cornerback depth in the previous offseason, but never got around to it. Perhaps they will this spring.

Pick change; previously Sean Mannion, QB

I could live with this one. My list of needs is QB, CB, OT, WR, S

At some point they need to play the two QBs on the bench to see what we have, or do they look that bad in practice. We maybe needing two CBs early in this draft, we all know they need another answer at ROT, AJ is not getting younger and WRs take time to mature. Lastly we need an future upgrade at Safety.

Umm, Derek Newton has been one of the best OL on the team this year. At 13 you could make an argument for damn near any other position on the team other than OT. They need to watch some Texans games over there, painful as that might be.

If the Texans do pick in that area I think that is prime CB territory.

Time to replace Watt... (j/k)

I don't think Walter has watched any Texans games this year. We need a new QB, yes, but not another project so unless one is there in the first that we like, we need to turn our attention to trades and free agents.

We could always use better DBs and more help at ILB. Pinkett has helped a lot at DT.

The OL has been improving although I'd love some upgrades there. Another WR if we aren't going to play Posey and let's find somebody who knows how to field and run back kicks.

How could I forget ILB?

Pickett is 35 and came out of retirement, but for sure helping. Maybe DT or DE help needed as well. We aren't really getting that much pressure on QB so far this year. Maybe that pass rush will improve as Clowney and Cushing get in shape. And as young guys get experience.

Run offense ranked 5th and run defense ranked 13th, everything else in mid-20s, so, yeah, almost any position could upgrade.

I'd rather see what Nix has to offer next year before using a top pick on a nose guard. Maybe he's a fat ass with a bad knee who can't control his weight but maybe he'll realize he's blowing a chance for a good career and want to be the fireplug NT we invested in.
