The Houston Texans are walking away from a draft that, by all measures, was a huge success for general manager Nick Caserio. It has been almost universally lauded as a B+ or A- draft from pundits and people around the league point to the number of playmakers Houston was able to find.
CB Derek Stingley Jr., LG Kenyon Green, SS Jalen Pitre, WR John Metchie III, LBChristian Harris and possible even 4th round running back Dameon Pierce all project as Week 1 starters for the rebuilding Texans. It was the type of draft that has the potential to be foundational.
Although unlikely to be enough talent to vault Houston into playoff contention in an AFC loaded with playmakers and elite quarterbacks, they’re building something and the direction of the franchise is more clear than it’s been in years.
