With Anthony Castonzo picked, who did Colts select in PFF's 2011 NFL redraft?
With Anthony Castonzo picked, who did Colts select in PFF's 2011 NFL redraft? With Anthony Castonzo off the board, who did the Colts select in PFF's 2011 NFL redraft? With hindsight being 20/20, who did the Indianapolis Colts select in Pro Football Focus' 2011 NFL redraft? With PFF using their grading system as their guide, they redrafted the entire first round. In this draft, following a 10-6 season in 2010 that ended in a loss in the wildcard round of the playoffs, the Colts held the 22nd overall pick and originally selected offensive tackle Anthony Castonzo. In this redraft, Castonzo went at pick 21 to Kansas City before the Colts were on the clock. So Indianapolis instead selected offensive tackle Nate Solder. "While the Colts would've loved the chance to select Castonzo again, they settle for Solder due to their original first-round pick coming off the board one pick earlier," wrote PFF. "Solder tallied an 81.6 career PFF overall grade and was a steady starter at tackle throughout his decade-long career." Solder was originally taken in the first round at 17th overall by New England. He is a two-time Super Bowl champion and played 10 seasons in the NFL, with seven of them coming with the Patriots. Solder appeared in 146 games, which included 143 starts. He was steadily one of PFF's higher graded offensive tackles for several years throughout his playing career. Castonzo, meanwhile, played all 10 of his NFL seasons with the Colts, which included making 144 starts. "Castonzo was very consistent in his 10-year NFL career. He logged 10,368 snaps at left tackle and earned a PFF overall grade of 76.0 or higher in all but two seasons — his first and his last, both between 73.0-74.0," wrote PFF. "He recorded an elite 90.8 PFF pass-blocking grade in 2014, his best season of work."

Houston Texans RB depth chart after team signs Nick Chubb
Houston Texans RB depth chart after team signs Nick Chubb Show Caption Hide Caption Will Anderson Jr. breaks down upcoming season for Houston Texans Mackenzie Salmon chats with Texans defensive end Will Anderson Jr. about the upcoming season and his partnership with USAA. Sports Seriously The Houston Texans are expected to sign former Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb to a one-year deal, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. But where does Chubb fit on the team's running backs depth chart? Chubb is the second former starter for an AFC North team that the Texans are poaching in two offseasons. Last year, the team traded for former Bengals starter Joe Mixon, who took over the starting gig in Houston. Mixon earned his second career Pro Bowl nod after a season with 1,016 yards and 11 touchdowns. The addition of Chubb also means the Texans will face a roster crunch at the running back position soon. Chubb will be the fifth running back on a team that just spent a fourth-round pick on adding depth to the backfield, re-signed Dare Ogunbowale earlier in the offseason and signed Mixon to a three-year extension last year. NICK CHUBB: Veteran expected to sign with Houston Texans pending physical Houston Texans RB depth chart The Texans will have five running backs on their roster once the Chubb signing becomes official. Joe Mixon Nick Chubb Dameon Pierce Woody Marks Dare Ogunbowale Mixon was one of the Texans' biggest offensive acquisitions last offseason. The team traded a seventh-round pick to Cincinnati for the veteran then granted him a three-year, $27 million extension. Mixon immediately took over the top spot in the Texans' backfield and recorded 1,016 yards and 11 touchdowns on 245 rush attempts. In 14 games – he missed Weeks 3 through 5 with an ankle injury – he averaged 4.1 yards per carry in 14 games. Chubb is the team's latest acquisition, a late free agency signing as the team prepares for its mandatory veteran minicamp, which starts Tuesday. In eight games during the 2024 season, Chubb compiled 332 yards on 102 rushes (3.3 yards per carry) and three rushing touchdowns. He also caught five passes for 31 yards and added a receiving touchdown as well. The former Brown is coming off of a season-ending broken foot and two straight seasons playing in fewer than 10 games. In 2022, Pierce, a fourth-round rookie, took over the Texans' starting running back role. He went on to rush for 939 yards and four touchdowns on 220 attempts (4.3 yards per carry) but suffered a season-ending ankle injury in Week 13. After a slow start to the 2023 season and another ankle injury, Pierce was supplanted as the Texans' starter by Devin Singletary, and he remained relegated to the backup role behind Mixon last year. Marks was the Texans' fourth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. He's coming off of an excellent final year at USC where he tallied career-high marks with 1,133 rushing yards and nine touchdowns. Marks also finished 2024 with 321 receiving yards on 47 catches. Ogunbowale is a more significant contributor to Houston's special teams units than he is on offense, but he still started a game last year on offense and rushed for 112 yards on 30 carries (3.7 average yards per carry). The Texans extended him on a one-year, $1.8 million deal this offseason.

90 days until the Texans' 2025 season opener: Who has worn No. 90?
90 days until the Texans' 2025 season opener: Who has worn No. 90? Who is the G.O.A.T. to wear No. 90 in a Texans' uniform? The Houston Texans are less than 100 days away from kicking off the 2025 season in Los Angeles against the Rams at SoFi Stadium and we're counting down the days until a victory ensues on the west coast. Texans Wire will each day tell you which player has worn the number of the day leading up to kickoff and pick the player who ensured the number best during their time at NRG Stadium. As for today, let's take a look at who has won No. 90 since the inaugural season in 2002. Texans players to wear No. 90 No. 90 currently belongs to Sheldon Rankins, who returned to Houston on a one-year deal after being released by the Cincinnati Bengals earlier this offseason. He was Houston's best interior run defender in 2023 for a unit that finished top 15 in run defense en route to a first AFC South division title since 2019. Rankins nearly signed a long-term deal with the Texans following his 7.5 sack season, but the Bengals offered more. Following a lost season in the AFC North, Rankins hopes to be a long-term member of the Texans' success to close out his career, though Tim Settle is currently wearing his No. 98, so No. 90 will have to do for the upcoming campaign. While Rankins wears No. 90, he's only going to be in for a season, therefore eliminating him from being the best player to don the number. That doesn't mean the jersey hasn't been worn by some talentend prospects over the years. DL Sheldon Rankins (present) DE Ali Gaye (2023) DT Taylor Stallworth (2022) DT Ross Blacklock (2020-2021) LB Javedon Clowney (2014-2018) DL Terrell McClain (2012) DE Mario Williams (2006-2011) DL Jason Davis (2005) DL Terrance Martin (2003) DL Shawn Worthen (2002) Best Player: Mario Williams Clowney was one of the league's best run-stoppers during his five seasons in Houston, but Williams did it all. The NC State product quietly rose up draft boards into the No. 1 spot in 2006 and never looked back. Over his six years, Williams racked up 48 sacks, 85 tackles for loss, 10 forced fumbles and nine pass breakups. While the success carried over to Buffalo, resulting in a six-year contract, Williams helped the Texans become a promising team with realistic expectations. He was also the first star defensively on the line before J.J. Watt arrived in 2011.
