Based on an initial evaluation of the depth chart, Houston added three immediate starters in its weakest positions (QB, DE, and OC). Then, they went for depth pieces at positions of need (IOL, WR, LB, DT, and DB). They easily could have added another starter by not trading away their 33rd pick, but it’s all worth it in the end if Will Anderson is a generational talent.
Houston currently have around 85 of their 90-man roster drafted or signed. They’ll be a few more free agents down the road to get to the full allotment, but what you see below is the current depth chart.
