Team Needs

WR: Every team would take a hit when a player of Andre Johnson's caliber goes down with an injury, but Houston's choices behind their top guy are barely average.
RT: The Texans cut Eric Winston and lost Mike Briesel to the Raiders, so the entire right side of the offensive line will be new. Rashad Butler at tackle is more of a problem than Antoine Caldwell at guard.
ILB: Houston traded DeMeco Ryans, in part, because Darryl Sharpton looks ready for more responsibility. Even so, there's not a lot of depth left.
