The Houston Texans were again very close to the playoffs but in this league close doesn’t cut it. The Texans have done a good job acquiring talent and now it’s time they put it all together and make a playoff run. To make a playoff run they will need to address a few positions.

1. Cornerback

- Losing Dunta Robinson will hurt and filling his void should be top priority. Adding depth to this position is also a need to look for the Texans to select more than one cornerback during this draft. Some first round options include Devin McCourty, Kyle Wilson, and Kareem Jackson.

2. Running Back

- Steve Slaton’s slump is cause for concern and Arian Foster and Ryan Moats are not starting caliber running backs. The Texans need to find a productive power runner to compliment Slaton’s speed and pass catching ability. First round options include Ryan Matthews. Later round options include Jonathan Dwyer and Toby Gerhart.

3. Safety

- When John Busing is starting games you know you need an infusion of talent. I think both talent and depth is a must at this position. Bernard Pollard was a good mid season addition and they need to find a compliment to his stop the run first mentality. First round options include Earl Thomas. Later round options include Nate Allen and Morgan Burnett.
