Houston has a glaring need at cornerback and could very well take one with the third overall pick. _RyanFowler_ is here to make the case for Derek Stingley Jr. to be that corner. FrontOffice33 | NFLDraft
The Houston Texans’ roster is in shambles and where their pick will ultimately go on Thursday night is similar to throwing a blind dart at a bullseye. The second season under General Manager Nick Caserio has welcomed newly minted Head Coach Lovie Smith and at least within the walls of the Texans’ facility, optimism remains towards the 2022 NFL Draft. On the heels of consecutive four-win campaigns, all options should remain on the table if you’re Caserio.
In what has become an overwhelmingly pass-happy league, the need for impact corners – as both starters and depth pieces – has become a necessity for teams with February aspirations. While touting an above-average pass rush allows the third level some leeway and athletic linebackers present a nice security blanket over the intermediate areas of the field, for Houston, when neither aforementioned positional groups are even considered average by league standard, your secondary is held out to dry.
One of college football’s most dominant defenders in 2019, you’ve heard it all regarding LSU’s Derek Stingley Jr., but little regarding his fit to Houston within the first trio of selections, I’m sure.
If you’re Caserio, getting fresh legs in the secondary should remain the plan of action and make the case of going Stingley at No. 3 overall. Although the Texans could opt to take a talent like Notre Dame’s Kyle Hamilton, where his ability to play downhill could immediately see his All-Pro ceiling come to a reality sooner rather than later, Stingley is a foundational add towards the current trends of the NFL, and a player to hang your hat on if you’re a defensive-minded coach like Smith.
