2019 NFL Mock Draft: Projected first round after Super Bowl LIII
By Dana Becker
For the first time since 2012, the Texans won double-digit games, finishing the year 11-5 and winning the South. They were bounced from the playoffs, though, due to a lack of pass protection for Pro Bowl quarterback and former Clemson standout Deshaun Watson.
There are very few holes on either side of the ball for Bill O’Brien and his staff outside of the offensive line. Watson racked up over 4,100 yards passing and 26 touchdowns, adding another 551 yards and five scores on the ground.
Lamar Miller led the team with 973 yards, DeAndre Hopkins had 115 catches without a drop for over 1,500 yards and J.J. Watt returned to form with 16 sacks. But that offensive line was a mess all season for Houston.
Greg Little was part of a very good offense at Ole Miss and the 6-foot-6, 325-pounder should slide right in as a starter from Day 1 with the Texans. His arrival gives the team the bookend tackle they have been missing since trading Duane Brown.
