The Texans obviously committed premium draft capital and future assets to the defensive line in the offseason and draft. In short, we could have called the 2022 defensive line was likely the weakest unit on the team. A number of players were added, but it will remain to be seen whether they have enough or if more is needed to make this a strong unit.
There were bright spots last season. Jerry Hughes turned in a nice season and the team employed a group of defensive ends that were solid enough on their own. They just didn’t have that one dominant guy.
