OT. Ole Miss. Greg Little. 12. player. 10.

As is the case with many of the teams in this league who have young quarterbacks, protection is essential.

DeShaun Watson had a season-ending injury as a rookie in 2017 and the Texans traded left tackle Duane Brown last season to the Seattle Seahawks as well.

They have struggled with pass protection this season at times and a player like Little — a freshman All-American at Ole Miss and 2018 preseason All-American — could be an asset for them.

The Texans’ offense has the potential to be great, but they are missing some essential pieces and one of those pieces is a stable left tackle.

If Little is on the board at this point, he would be a great selection for them.
