10. . Offensive Tackle. Washington State. Andre Dillard. 23. player

One of the Texans’ biggest weaknesses comes on the offensive line. Last season, teams were able to constantly pressure Deshaun Watson, and he ended up getting sacked a league-high 62 times. That cannot happen again.

The Texans are going to look to invest in some help for their offensive line, and they are in the position to do that here. Both Andre Dillard and Greg Little are on the board, and they are two of the better tackle options available in this class. Of the two, Dillard seems to have the upper hand as a left tackle at the next level.

Dillard was one of the better players at the Senior Bowl, and his one-on-one work against fellow Senior Bowl star Montez Sweat was noted. Dillard did a lot to improve his draft stock during the week and with a strong Combine, he could establish himself as one of the top tackles in this class.

Standing at 6-foot-5, 310 pounds, Dillard is well built and has solid length and experience in the Washington State offense. He would certainly push Julie’n Davenport for the Texans’ starting job and at the very least, he would do a lot to provide better protection at some position on the Houston offensive line.
