    Reese will be turned into a DE ala Micah Parsons, and he will be great. Styles is a real 3 level, 3 down LB, so we'll see right!?! Lots of guys are gonna be fun to watch.

    Our tackles are playing better and assuming that we bring back Trent Brown we'll be able to focus on our two greatest needs, center and guard. Thereafter a cover linebacker and then another RB to pair with Woody. Those are my top-4 picks. The DT kid out of Texas Tech is appealing. After that I'm acquiring depth at receiver, cb, and s.

    I don't know who TE#81 is for Alabama, but CJ Allen just blew him the hell up

    Yes, he's playing well and has all the measurables NFL looks for. He could always tank interviews or poor workout performance, but I'd agree he's trending to be numero ono.

    21. HOUSTON TEXANS: OG VEGA IOANE, PENN STATE
    • Record: 8-5
    • Strength of Schedule Tiebreaker: 0.541
    • Potential 2026 Needs: IOL, RB, DT
    The Texans’ offensive line has looked better at times since the start of the season, but they shouldn’t take these past few games with a makeshift group and assume everything is fixed. Ioane was one of the best pass-protecting offensive linemen in college football this past season, earning a 90.9 pass-blocking grade on true pass sets.

    Perhaps. We may also need a tackle depending upon Trent Brown.

    How about two guards, a center, and a tackle with our first 4 picks? We need them!

    Say no to guards in the 1st round. We need a center as well, right? Guards are rarely worth firsts unless they can play additional positions on the line.

    At 37 go OG if you want, but don’t force it at 21.

    We don't need OL. Let's focus on the DL and secondary.
