The Houston Texans have sundry needs across their roster. It typically happens when a team finishes 4-13 as a follow up to a 4-12 season from the year prior.
According to Mel Kiper from ESPN, who released his latest first-round mock draft, the Texans will take Alabama offensive tackle Evan Neal with the No. 3 overall pick.
Part of the reason why Houston goes with an offensive lineman so high, according to Kiper, is because the Texans allowed 32 sacks (sixth-most), averaged 15.5 points per game (third-fewest), generated 15.6 first downs per game (last), and churned 83.9 rushing yards per game (worst).
