Houston Texans

10. . OL. Houston. Offensive line . 13. player

Deshaun Watson isn’t off to the hot start many had hoped for when the Houston Texans season began. There’s a simple explanation for that. The offensive line hasn’t been holding up well enough. Watson has already been sacked seven times in two games. There’s a lot of inexperience within the group and the coaches have tried to move guys around, searching for a good combination. Thus far they haven’t found it. If this persists Watson could be in danger and they can’t have that. This may push them to seek out an option on the block, somebody with experience who can settle one of their weaker positions.
