Draft an Identity: The Fantasy Football Texans

This week the Texans Wire has explored the concept of the Houston Texans using their first four picks to amplify one portion of their roster. The idea that the Texans could choose a brand new identity by virtue of resource allocation towards a specific cause.

Each have pointed towards a hypothetical that would truly aid Houston. Learning to run the ball after years of ineptitude. Preparing for a pass heavy AFC and years of competition against young, elite quarterbacks. Building around quarterback Davis Mills to ensure a proper evaluation during the 2022 season. Going all-in to stop the defining faces of the AFC South in Derrick Henry and Jonathan Taylor.

After a week of practical ideas and legitimate strategies, it is time to have some fun; to embrace absurdity. What if Houston fully committed to playing Madden? There is speculation that offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton will be a coach next off-season and he was largely considered the best offensive coordinator of the past few months. What if Houston drafted with the intent to let Pep cook?

If general manager Nick Caserio drafted only to put together a fantasy-football-esque, explosive offense, one that could finish in the top-10 in the NFL with a top-15 fantasy player at every position, what would it look like?
