10. <p>Bill O’Brien has already shown that he does not want any non-pro style quarterback to run his offense. That means no Marcus Mariota going to the Houston Texans either, and you can’t blame him.</p> <p>In this situation, Shane Ray should be drafted. Coming from Missouri as a 6’2″ 245 pound defensive end, Ray has bust written all over him. After all, Gary Pinkel’s system is built around tweeners who are too small for the line but to slow for linebacker.</p> <p>However, these guys are perfect on certain lines. Michael Sam would be great as a situational pass-rusher in the right system. And Ray proved last year with 14.5 sacks that he can be great in the right system also.</p> <p>That system is Houston.</p> <p>A healthy Jadeveon Clowney combined now with the signing of Vince Wilfork to anchor the middle of a 3-4 defense along with superstar J.J. Watt at defensive makes for an amazing line already.In this situation, Ray would be able to mix in at outside linebacker or end, and he would be a huge playmaker with so much attention paid to the other guys,</p> <p>Houston would automatically have the scariest front seven in the NFL, and yes, Ray can be a deadly playmaker when given space. He’ll have space here. Houston should go for it.</p>. Defensive End. Missouri Tigers. Shane Ray. 16. player
