21. Houston Texans

OL. Kansas State. Dalton Risner . 21. player. 10.

At the rate Deshaun Watson is taking hits this season, it’s fair to wonder if he’ll be able to last five seasons in the NFL before his body breaks down. He already suffered a torn ACL. Now he’s dealing with broken ribs and a collapsed lung. That’s scary stuff and the situation on the offensive line isn’t making matters easier. The unit is undermanned at several spots. That can’t happen if this team wants to keep their title window open. This is why they take Dalton Risner. The Kansas State offensive tackle is a quality pass blocker with athleticism and punch. He can play on the edge though some think he’d be even better inside at guard. Either way, he’ll be a big help to the Texans protection scheme.
