The Houston Texans are now turning their attention to the 2025 NFL Draft following their 2024-25 season. One glaring need exposed during their divisional round battle against the Kansas City Chiefs was the offensive line, which allowed quarterback CJ Stroud to be sacked eight times in that game and a total of 52 times during the regular season. To address this issue, the Texans have their eyes on Missouri right tackle Armand Membou, whose standout performances during the college football season have propelled him onto many draft boards. Membou didn't concede a single sack in 410 pass-blocking snaps and has drawn praise as a potential first-round pick.
Given that current right tackle Tytus Howard was shifted to right guard later in the season, the Texans must prioritize fortifying their offensive line. The selection of Membou could not only enhance their current capabilities but also pave the way for a long-term solution as their star left tackle, Laremy Tunsil, approaches the latter stages of his career at 30 years old. At just 20, Membou offers significant growth potential and could emerge as a key player for the Texans in the future.
