I’m still not ready to say the Texans OL draft eval is really all that bad.
Obviously I think Ersery is going to be good but still we don’t know about that but even then I still think they have had good picks that ended up going poorly.
Juice is probably the best example of a guy I think in the right scheme can be good but unfortunately that just hasn’t been the case in Houston.
Jarrett Patterson was a good draft pick pretty objectively & I still think Blake Fisher can upside.

Texans Injury Updates:
Aireontae Ersery - Questionable (Thumb)
Trent Brown - Out (Ankle/Knee)
Would expect Tytus Howard to move outside to RT & Blake Fisher at LT if Ersery cannot go.
Enjoy your holiday season with C.J. Stroud and Nico Collins!
If the Chiefs could somehow beat the Broncos tonight that would made the Texans as close to a lock for playoffs as possible without officially clinching.
At that point, the Texans would likely get in based off SOV even if they went 0-2 and Indy went 2-0.
Highly unlikely but something to remember for tonight
Merry Christmas!! 🎄🎁
