Cutting edge
The Texans’ pass rush needs to get younger. Defensive end J.J. Watt is 31 years old and outside linebacker Whitney Mercilus will be 30 years old when Week 1 arrives. New defensive coordinator needs proven talent in case Brennan Scarlett has hit his ceiling, Jacob Martin can’t take the next step, or Duke Ejiofor is unable to recover from his Achilles injury. Houston could also use some younger offensive line player to find a replacement for Zach Fulton. — Mark Lane
