to toughen up their offensive line for quarterback CJ Stroud. They signed two top-free agents,

right tackle Braden Smith and guard Wyatt Teller, aiming to build a stronger front-5.

These guys bring a gritty, powerful style that should shift the team's mentality up front.

They will also help the rushing attack, especially with the addition of running bag David

Montgomery from the Lions. Even with these clear upgrades to the offense, CBS sports analyst Pete

Prisco dropped the Texans a bit in his latest post-free agency power rankings. He noted the line

improvements are smart, but stressed the knee for better protection, and Strav returning to his

rookie year-level. On defense, the Texans added safety-read blanket ship from the Eagles and Lyman

Logan Hall as rotational depth pieces. That is solid, since their unit was already one of the

league's best-last season. Now fans are debating where the Texans truly stand after free agency.

These moves position them well, but the rankings spark questions about their ceiling heading

into the draft. The Daily News Now is presented by our sponsor. Podcasts hit different when the
