25. Houston Texans

OT. Alabama. Cam Robinson . 25. player. 10. With San Francisco swiping the last viable 1st round quarterback, the Houston Texans must go to their contingency plans. Brock Osweiler is naturally not their future but until they find somebody better, the next best solution is to improve the pieces around him. The offensive line is certainly an area that can use some attention. Offensive tackle would rank near the top what with both injury and age concerns. <p>Cam Robinson got a lot of grief for his off-the-field issues at Alabama but he was still the anchor of an offensive line that paved the way to two-straight national championship appearances. He’s big and showcases a lot of power in the run game. What he might lack in pure athleticism he makes more in length. If his fundamentals stay tight he can stand up well to NFL-caliber pass rushers.</p>
