With free agency right around the corner and not a lot of cap room to work with, which position should the Texans make their top priority?
Offensive line or wide receiver? Clearly they need both, but based on the amount of hits Stroud took this season, and how the Super Bowl played out, it appears the o-line needs to be at the top of the list.
But what if the Texans could address receiver through a trade. Should they have any interest in acquiring Deebo Samuel or Cooper Kupp? And if so, what would be a fair asking price?
Or, would the team be better off bringing back Stefon Diggs?
ESPN Houston's John Granato and Lance Zierlien share their thoughts on Houston's top offseason priorities, and much more in the video above!
The Houston Texans came into this draft with many anticipating they would trade up to address their need on the offensive line. Instead, the Texans elected to trade back to pick No. 34 after agreeing to a deal with the Giants.
The Texans also receive pick number 99, and a 2026 third-round selection.

When Ohio State's offensive lineman Donovan Jackson and Texas receiver Matthew Golden went off the board right in front of them, the Texans decided to go with a contingency plan, it seems.
We'll have to wait until Friday night to see what the Texans do with their picks.
