Episode notes
Texans Need Offensive Line To Unlock Stroud
- The Texans' top priority entering the draft is upgrading the offensive line to support C.J. Stroud.
- Matt Harmon argues interior OL additions solve run-game issues and protect Stroud, making late-first/early-second picks valuable targets like Blake Miller.
Jaguars Will Maximize Midround Flexibility
- The Jaguars have no first-round pick but considerable mid-round capital and flexibility.
- Matt Harmon says their focus is incremental upgrades (especially OL and linebacker depth) using multiple third-rounders and trades to move in the board.
