HOUSTON -- The theme for the Houston Texans' offseason has been simple for the offensive side of the ball: Out with the old, in with the new.
And the draft was no different.
Houston has been looking to implement change after the Texans saw dips in yards per game (342.4 to 319.7) and points per game (22.2 to 21.9) while sacks allowed went up from 47 to 54 in DeMeco Ryans' second season as coach.
The Monday after the season, Ryans lamented about getting over the proverbial hump. Houston had been overhauling the offensive personnel in free agency, and last week's draft was the last key step of the rebuild.
