Team Needs:
Quarterback: Brock Osweiler plays well versus the Raiders, but what about against the other 30 teams in the NFL? Osweiler will be around for one more season, but if he doesn't improve, the Texans will cut ties with him. Houston may consider a signal-caller as early as the first round.

Right Tackle: Derek Newton may never be the same coming off double torn patellar tendons. Houston will be hoping to add a better right tackle in free agency or the draft this offseason.

Cornerback: A.J. Bouye is Houston's top free agent this offseason. Re-signing him is one of the team's top priorities. It's possible that the Texans may have to cut someone like Kareem Jackson to make that happen.

Tight End: The Texans have some nice blocking tight ends, but their offense would improve markedly if they could add a dynamic intermediate threat. Fortunately for them, the 2017 NFL Draft is stacked at the position. Re-signed Ryan Griffin

Inside Linebacker: It would be surprising if the Texans kept Brian Cushing around much longer. They'll need a new inside linebacker to play alongside Benardrick McKinney once Cushing departs.

Defensive End: J.J. Watt will be returning from injury next year, but I'm sure the Texans will want some insurance just in case Watt can't fully recover or misses more time.

Guard: Here's another position the Texans need to address on the offensive line. Xavier Su'a-Filo has never really developed despite being the No. 33 overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft. Jeff Allen, meanwhile, declined following a terrific 2015 campaign in Kansas City. The Texans should consider adding a guard for competition at both spots.

Safety: Quintin Demps is another important free agent the Texans will need to retain. Demps, however, is 32, so he shouldn't get a big contract despite coming off a great year.

Outside Linebacker: John Simon has been a solid third edge rusher over the past couple of years, but he's heading for free agency.

Kicker: Nick Novak's contract is expiring. Re-signed Nick Novak

Punter: Shane Lechler is also an impending free agent. Re-signed Shane Lechler

I'm actually kind of high on Mahomes. Where Trubisky is probably going to be an average QB if he doesn't bust, Mahones has all of the physical attributes and the leadership skills to be a legit starting QB. However, he needs to go to a situation where he can sit for a full year, maybe longer. Coming from an air-raid offense provides almost no preparation for the pros. In fact, I'm curious how many QBs have come from such an offense and succeeded, considering the recent Goff pick.

Well not just to pair him up with JJ.... they have some decisions to make moving forward. Clowney and Whitney Mercilus. They are going to have to choose who they want more most likely. They could sign both but who knows

Takk?


I'm using a big board that was put together at the time of the first pick being posted on here and I'm not adjusting it. Takk was viewed as a mid-late second rounder a few weeks ago when I started this and he has since risen to a late first. Buuuuut I'm sticking to the original big board for sake of fairness.



Kizer, Mahomes, Watt all tied at 3 votes a piece, randomized the 3 11 times, Mahomes ad the most wins.


With the 25th pick in the 2017 JSP NFL Draft, the Houston Texans select Patrick Mahomes, QB, Texas Tech
