Houston Texans 2017 4rth round draft selection Julién Davenport is facing a tougher road for a starting spot after the conclusion of the 2019 NFL Draft. Selected by the previous general manager Rick Smith, Davenport will have to survive the new front office regime.
Davenport’s development in his third year will be the most important storyline to follow as he was everything he was advertised being drafted in 2017. He is a raw prospect with intriguing physical attributes for the tackle position.
Selected from Bucknell as a developmental tackle, Davenport was a shoo-in to make the roster in his second season with Brian Gaine being hired as the new Texans general manager in 2018, but he has to take the next step this season with the Texans bringing in more competition for the upcoming 2019 season.
