Top 10 Targets for the Texans

With the Houston Texans not having a first-round pick, it is hard to find superstar talent in the later rounds. The Texans have to nail their draft picks this season if they want to be a contender for years to come. The Texans need to either get Higgins or Aiyuk if they are still their 40th overall but if they are gone Shenault should be a very good player, just the injury concern just the only reason why teams are concerned taking Shenault in the first round.

The Houston Texans do not have to go wide receiver with their second-round pick due to the very deep receiver class. The Texans would have to take a cornerback if that happens. Diggs is first-round talent in my eyes. If he is there on the board you have to take him, if not the next best would Igbinoghene. Igbinoghene is very close to that first-round talent bridge, he would make that secondary way better as well as Diggs would.

If Houston decided to keep their third-round pick and not trade it, they should use that on a guard or a tackle. At this point, the Texans should take the best available offensive lineman, period. The Houston Texans need to protect Deshaun Watson at all costs!
