Yikes!

It’s a darned shame Houston lost star rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson to a season-ending knee injury earlier this season. But he’ll be back.

And while the injury occurred in practice, protecting Watson should be high on Houston’s to-do list between now and 2018. An upgrade, or five, along the O-line is clearly needed. Unfortunately, as things stand now, the Texans don’t have a pick in Round 1 of the NFL Draft.

Hopefully that won’t hurt things too bad.
