Greg Little. 13. player. 10. . Offensive Tackle. Ole Miss

A nice little run on offensive lineman here.

The Eagles grab an offensive lineman as almost a luxury pick and long-term replacement. The Houston Texans grab one, Ole Miss’ Greg Little, because they absolutely need an upgrade now.

Houston’s offensive line has been atrocious this season, leaving second-year quarterback Deshaun Watson at the mercy of opponents’ pass rushers throughout the season. And Houston’s running game has also suffered, meaning an upgrade within this unit would go a long way to improving this talented-yet-underachieving squad.

Little might not be at the level of a Trey Adams or Yodny Cajuste. But he’s the top O-lineman remaining at this point in the draft.

So, unless the Texans figure out how to trade down, look for them to acquire some O-line help here with their first pick.
