Every player taken in the 2015 NFL draft believes he is good enough to be named a starter. A limited number of players in this group will actually be in the lineup for the first series of the season on opening day. Some will be chosen because of their talent, and others because the incumbent starter was unable to play.
There are several positions on the Houston Texans where rookies could benefit from such circumstances. Most will be candidates to start due to some glaring holes in the depth chart. These holes should be addressed during the league’s annual talent lottery kicking off on April 30.
