Houston’s pass defense is pretty much in the middle of the pack in a few major statistical categories (16th in touchdown passes allowed and completion percentage, so bolstering the secondary should be one of the first moves of the draft.

The Texans will need to improve in that area with Andrew Luck playing great again, and the Titans are one big playmaker away from really making more noise in the division.

Trayvon Mullen would be an excellent addition to a defense that can get to the quarterback quickly. J.J. Watt has been phenomenal, and Jadaveon Clowney should receive an extension this offseason (or get designated with the franchise tag).

Mullen stands at 6-foot-2, 190 pounds, and would be able to withstand the physical corners in the conference. In the ACC championship game against Pittsburgh, he posted just one tackle, but he didn’t have many opportunities as the Panthers tried to stay away from his side of the field as Clemson cruised to another spot in the College Football Playoff.

If Houston doesn’t go with a defensive back look for them to target a linebacker towards the end of the first round.
