Ranking Texans rookies in terms of importance

The Houston Texans have 14 rookies on their roster, and each will have a challenging time making the team, fighting for playing time.

5. WR Isaiah Coulter

Houston took Coulter in the fifth round to complete their 2020 NFL Draft class. Brandin Cooks, Randall Cobb, Will Fuller, and Kenny Stills already have the first four spots taken atop the depth chart. Coulter’s main competition for a roster spot are Keke Coutee, Steven Mitchell, DeAndre Carter, Chad Hansen, and undrafted free agent Tyler Simmons. However, the first four receivers could sustain injuries, and some of Coulter’s competition aren’t exactly pictures of perfect availability either. If Coulter can instantly get up to speed, it should keep the Texans’ receiving corps from dropping off dramatically in production due to injuries.
