Ranking every Texans first draft pick in the Bill O’Brien era

How do all six of the players the Houston Texans have taken in the Bill O’Brien era to leadoff a draft class stack up against one another?

If this list were constructed even two to three years in the future, it is possible that Howard would be higher on the list. The former Alabama State tackle made an immediate impact in his eight games for the Texans. Houston was finally able to open up the run game for Carlos Hyde, and improve the passing game by protecting quarterback Deshaun Watson. Howard broke his left hand late in preseason and missed Week 1, and an MCL sprain in Week 6 forced him to miss a few games before ultimately landing him on injured reserve in Week 13. Nonetheless, the state of the offensive line appears to be on the come with Howard.
