The Texans could have filled their biggest need with the first pick in the NFL Draft.

Instead, they took the best player.

The Texans may have created one of the NFL’s most dangerous defenses by choosing South Carolina’s Jadeveon Clowney, but they also left themselves with plenty of uncertainty.

Largely because they lack a stable quarterback, they’re slotted at No. 25 in our Preseason Power Rankings (you can read the full preview by clicking right here).

If they can get even moderate play out of veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick, they will be good enough on defense to be in the mix of an unsettled division.

You can weigh in on the poll below, and in the comments whether you think Fitzpatrick’s capable of that.
