The Houston Texans come into the 2019 NFL season fresh off an AFC South division win, after reeling off nine straight victories at one point during 2018. Unfortunately, they lost to the Indianapolis Colts in the Wild Card round at home, ending a pretty successful season way  too early.

When it comes to this roster, there are a bunch of ways they could go during the 2019 NFL Draft, but they have to do something in the secondary. They let Kareem Jackson walk in free agency, and he was picked up by the Denver Broncos, so there is a need to bring in one of these first round cornerbacks this April.

Enter Deandre Baker, a good-looking defensive back from Georgia, who played a big role in the Bulldogs being one of the best teams in the country during his time at the school. He is a guy who could step right in and fill the shoes left vacant by Jackson, and would actually be an upgrade by year two.

Houston has so many good things about their roster, including quarterback Deshaun Watson, who could end up being one of the best quarterbacks in the league. They have the talent on both sides of the ball to win another AFC South title in 2019, but that division is going to be loaded, especially with Andrew Luck back to being one of the best in the league once again.
