The Texans still need to fix their pas rush, and adding Okwara would be a big step towards getting younger at the position. Houston’s top two defenders for sacks were outside linebacker Whitney Mercilus with 7.5 and defensive end J.J. Watt with 4.0. Mercilus will be 30 and Watt 31 by the time Week 1 arrives. Adding Okwara would help provide a smoother transition from Mercilus and Watt to a younger crop of edge rushers.
