Houston Texans: The entire O-Line

The entire offensive line could really be a question for the Houston Texans because they’re atrocious there. There are also other positions on the team that could be open for a battle, if not for injury — like running back.

If D’Onta Foreman were 100 percent healthy, this position would top this list. He proved in his limited time as a rookie that he offers a lot more production per attempt than the veteran Lamar Miller. However, a torn Achilles ended his season early and the team now has to wait to see when he’ll be ready to roll. Once he can go full speed, Miller will need to watch out.

As for the offensive line though, this team needs help. Nick Martin may never be as good as his older brother but he seems to have that position locked down. No one else is even close though.

Maybe the only lock is Julie’n Davenport, the second-year left tackle who has a lot of upside. At right tackle, it looks like Seantrel Henderson will win that spot, but he may not be much better than Martinas Rankin or Kendall Lamm. As for Rankin, some in the draft process liked him better as an interior player.

To sum it up, there are more answers than questions when it comes to the men who will be blocking up front for the Houston Texans during the NFL 2018 season.
