Houston Texans draft: Previewing defensive line depth

The Houston Texans have had a busy offseason making a lot of moves to assimilate the roster to how head coach and general manager Bill O’Brien wants the team to function moving forward.

The defensive line has undergone its changes and will look different than how it has looked in previous seasons with D.J. Readers’ departure in free agency. Reader signed a four-year deal worth up to $53 million to bolster the Cincinnati Bengals defensive line for the upcoming season.

Houston is faced with the task of replacing Reader’s production in the middle of their defensive line after being spoiled with two solid players at the position in the past with Vince Wilfork and Reader.
