The Houston Texans and the Offseason of the Offensive Line: Part I

The Houston Texans and the Offseason of the Offensive Line: Part I

The Houston Texans have remade their offensive line in free agency. Was it for the better?

Over the course of the last three months, all those associated with and those who follow the Houston Texans have had to reconcile with the state of the offensive line. Collectively, we have analyzed, discussed, debated, and sparred with each other over the players that make up the offensive line, it’s coaching staff, and how much it was to blame for 2024’s disappointing finish. It has become the discussion point of the offseason, and nearly everyone has a strong opinion on this subject, including...

snap judgements: fun for all the boys & girls

The Houston Texans 2025 offseason has been anything but uneventful. General Manager Nick Caserio has once again proved he loves wheelin’ and dealin', making several trades and signing a busload of free agents. Through all this, per Overthecap.com the Texans are currently banking on roughly $18 million in cap space.

Since we’re all anxiously waiting for the draft, this seems like as good a time as any to start a meaningless sports bar debate on the quality, intelligence and impact of some of these moves.

First off, no matter how good...

Value of Things: Remaking the Texans OL

Value of Things: Remaking the Texans OL

Have all of these moves made them better

It is clear to anyone that watches football that the Houston Texans had a bad offensive line in 2024. Of course, the team could have gone anywhere with that information. They traded out offensive coordinators, so they could have simply blamed it on the offensive scheme. They also let the leading offensive line coach go. So, they could have easily blamed it on bad coaching.

Obviously, Nick Caserio and company didn’t just stop there. They also took three of the players that were starters on day one of the 2024 season and...

Houston Texans Draft Prospect: Wyatt Milum

Houston Texans Draft Prospect: Wyatt Milum

Potential second round left tackle, anyone?

The Houston Texans need a reliable, dependable, and studied left tackle and they need one now. Enter West Virginia’s three year starting LT Wyatt Milum.

Milum is the third draft prospect I’ve analyzed in this series. The original goal was to showcase players across multiple positions, but with the frenzied changes across the offensive line, there isn’t much value in highlighting other positions.

Past Prospects:

Jonah Savaniiaea

Armand Membou

Milum is PFF’s number two graded offensive tackle in college football. What stands out the most? Zero. Sacks. Given. Up. What’s most important is his...
