The Houston Texans have wrapped up OTAs and minicamp, and Seth Payne breaks down the biggest takeaways from the spring.

The defense already looked like a championship-caliber unit last season. Now the larger question is whether the offense has improved enough to help the Texans reach their ceiling. Seth discusses why the offense appears to be starting from a much better place in Year 2 under Nick Caley, the importance of the improved pre-snap operation, and why the Texans are clearly trying to become a more physical team.

He also explains why the offensive line is both the biggest question mark and one of the most encouraging parts of the roster, with Keylan Rutledge, Wyatt Teller, Braden Smith, Trent Brown and the center competition all worth watching closely during training camp.

Plus: why Reed Blankenship and Kayden McDonald could make an already elite defense even better, the areas where the Texans still need more depth, the realistic expectations for Tank Dell’s comeback, and why the entire conversation eventually comes back to giving C.J. Stroud a better chance to succeed.
