6. ILB Tyrell Adams
The Texans have signed Jan Johnson, an undrafted rookie from Notre Dame, to play inside linebacker, same as Adams. The former Oakland Raider started in two of his five games for Houston last year, collecting 13 tackles and forcing a fumble.
If Adams can prove to the coaching staff that he is capable of being a solid starter at inside linebacker, not only would it keep Johnson off his heels, but it would give the Texans confidence to start listening again to offers for Benardrick McKinney.
