The Houston Texans have the 23rd overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft and for ESPN.com, on their ESPN Insiders page (subscription required), NFL Draft guru Mel Kiper Jr. has the Texans looking to improve on their defense, selecting Washington cornerback Byron Murphy with their first-round pick.
Houston needs to work on the cornerback position of the team, as it did hamper them late in the year and in the playoff loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Though the Texans did win the AFC South championship this past regular season, the playoff was a huge disappointment, and it is now time to look at the future of the franchise.
