It's April 21st. Welcome in. This is NFL News Today, where the league meets AI, Encorey, with the story. The Houston Texans boast one of the league's top rosters, but their offensive line has been a weak spot for two straight seasons, hurting the run game. And slowing down young star quarterback CJ Stroud. They've made moves to fix it, signing Vets' Braden Smith and Wyatt Teller to two year deals in free agency and trading for running back David. Montgomery from Detroit. Those additions give short term help, but both linemen are nearing the end of their primes, so Houston still needs fresh blood of front. Scout see the draft as the spot to build long term, especially with the 2026 NFL draft on the horizon. Fans and analysts are buzzing about how this linemess has held back Stroud's growth, turning potential into frustration on game days. The team's smart plays show their thinking ahead, balancing now with tomorrow, without panic. Not drafts have offensive tackle, Ehana Core projected late in the first round or early

second, right around Houston's 28th pick. He's a high upside guy with some risk tied to his raw potential, per experts like Mel Kuiper. With the 38th pick also in pocket, they can chill at 28, trade back a bit, or snack him later. Plenty of pass to lock in that line, upgrade, and keep pushing for playoffs.
