Houston Chronicle writer Jonathan Alexander joins Next Up to review the latest comments from Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans, quarterback C.J. Stroud and defensive end Will Anderson Jr. who spoke to the media prior to the beginning of organized offseason workouts. "They know the formula to winning," and "DeMeco wants to win right now," Alexander said. Having a quarterback and adding complimentary pieces with trades and free agent signings, "that solves a lot."
The NFL Draft begins with the first round Thursday, April 25, and although the Texans do not currently have a first round pick, there is still value in the second round. "Their biggest hole is at defensive tackle," and either a defensive back or defensive tackle will be the first position drafted for the Texans, "wherever you find the most value."
Despite this year's draft having a deep wide receiver class, Alexander says "I don't think they need a receiver."
