3. Upgrades another position on the offensive line
12 months ago, the projected Texans starting offensive line was not exactly known. Nick Martin would man center and Zach Fulton would be right guard. Was Tytus Howard going to start left tackle as a rookie, or was it going to be free agent Matt Kalil? Was Seantrel Henderson starting at right tackle as then-general manager Brian Gaine said at the NFL Scouting Combine that offseason? Was Senio Kelemete starting a left guard? What about second-rounder Max Scharping’s place on the unit? It was dysfunctional.
On May 10, the Texans have a Pro Bowler at left tackle in Laremy Tunsil, Scharping is excelling at left guard, Martin remains center, and Howard is earning accolades as a right tackle. The only area where the Texans can reasonably upgrade is right guard, and that can be done with the signing of Warford.
