4th round (126th overall), OT Charlie Heck, North Carolina
Heck’s father, Andy Heck, played in the NFL from 1989-2000 and is currently the offensive line coach for the Kansas City Chiefs. The 6-8, 315-pound bookend knows the expectations of an NFL player and also how to conduct himself as an NFL player. It won’t be a knowledge issue if Heck doesn’t work out for the Texans. Heck gives Houston a younger option at swing tackle, or gives them a chance to put him at right guard and kick Tytus Howard inside at right guard.
