The Houston Texans may very well have the best front seven in the NFL heading into 2017 despite having a weakness at defensive end across from J.J. Watt.
The Texans have not had a consistent end opposite Watt since Jared Crick signed with the Denver Broncos four seasons ago.
The Texans reluctantly used Jadeveon Clowney at defensive end at times last season but found him most effective as an outside linebacker in their scheme.
There is depth all throughout the Texans’ defense-except for the defensive line.
Behind and opposite Watt there are no real consistent play-makers.
