The Texans have needs at wide receiver (Andre Johnson gone), at pass rusher (what will Jadeveon Clowney provide in 2015?), and at cornerback (replacement for likely 2016 cap casualty Jonathan Joseph), but there is questionable value remaining on the board at all of those positions. Instead, they look to fill the yawning chasm on their roster that is inside linebacker. With the 51st overall selection, the Houston Texans select ILB Eric Kendricks, UCLA.
