"We feel we were able to fortify those things through this draft weekend."In the first two rounds, it was evident the Texans wanted to improve the protection around Deshaun Watson, who was sacked a league-high 62 times last season. Houston drafted two offensive lineman in Tytus Howard (No. 23 overall) and Max Scharping (No. 55 overall) within its first three selections.This is the first time the Texans have spent a first-round pick on an offensive lineman since taking Duane Brown in 2006 with the 26th overall pick.

"We really feel good about every single guy and their potential contribution to the roster and we're excited to get started with them."The Texans will now finish filling additional needs through undrafted free agency with rookie minicamp on the horizon.WHO THEY GOTThe Texans added yet another tight end to the room by drafting Kahale Warring (86th overall) in their final pick of the second round.Warring adds another tight end to the roster.

(Watt), especially Color Rush Xavier Crawford Jersey ," Omenihu said. "Just because we play the same position. Just hand work, how to use my length a little bit better and with Jadeveon (Clowney) he's played multiple positions with the Texans. Crazy enough I wore No. 7 because of him in high school, wore No. 90 because of him as well. A guy I just watched and I want to be just like him."SURPRISE MOVEWith their final pick, the Texans took the "12th Man" from Texas A&M. Cullen Gillaspia (220th overall), who was originally a walk-on, wore No. 12 for the Aggies and this past season played fullback for the first time in his college career.Gillaspia is a native of Houston, playing high school football at Katy Taylor Cheap Xavier Crawford Jersey , and attended the Texans local pro day. Gillaspia becomes the first 12th man to get drafted."Going from a special teams guy to a first-year fullback hearing that call you hope for it, but you don't necessarily expect it," said Gillaspia, who was emotional when he received the call while at a family crawfish boil. "You prepare for the best and expect the worst. When I got that call in the seventh round, I couldn't have been happier. Brian Gaine called me and made me a Texan and this is a dream come true."HOW THEY DIDThe Texans had a plan entering the draft and seemed to have executed it.Gaine, who didn't have a first or second-round pick last year, didn't change how he approached this year's draft."Our whole goal for the draft was to honor the process Xavier Crawford Jersey Womens ," Gaine said. "We had a very good balance of best available, mixed with the opportunity to meet team needs."WHAT'S NEXT?The Texans addressed a lot of needs in this draft.
