Starting with the Houston Texans, there is a lot of needs for this team. Starting on the defensive side of the ball first we will start in the secondary where much is needed. At corner Robinson is a lock on the one side of the field but the other corner position is a question mark in my opinion. Reeves is the starter there but he is just is not consistent enough for this young defense. The Texans need to upgrade this position and get a real playmaker to sure up this defense especially in this pass happy division. A playmaker will not only sure up the defense but will hopefully increase the play of Robinson. On the defensive line the Texans need a huge amount of help in my opionion. The Texans allowed 120 plus yards a game last year rushing so they need a huge run stuffer in the middle, and to take the double teams off Williams. Moving now to linebacker where the Texans lost Greenwood in the offseason, and the only outside backers on the roster now are not really the playmakers that the Texans need in this defense. Drafting Cushing from USC with their first pick would be a great move for the Texans here giving the Texans a young talented player who can stuff the run and cover receivers. Moving to the offensive side of the ball, the Texans need a little bit of help but not as badly as defensively. The offense still needs receiver help in my opinion. Johnson is a solid number one receiver, but Walters is best suited for a number three slot i think, so that leaves a hole for a speedy number two receiver that will help take the coverage away from Jonson. The only other need on offense i believe is at the running back spot. Slaton is a great back, but he is not the answer in short yardage or on the goal line so the Texans need to pick up a big back who can push the pile and get those short yardage yards.

If the Indianapolis Colts want to take back their dominance over the division they have some real holes to fill. Starting on offense the Colts
