Despite Bill O’Brien’s reputation as an offensive guru, the Houston Texans have mostly struggled to score points during O’Brien’s tenure, finishing no better than 17th in total offense.

The biggest culprit in the club’s offensive woes was lackluster quarterback play. With Deshaun Watson’s electric rookie campaign seemingly ending the franchise’s long struggle to develop a franchise signal caller, O’Brien and rookie general manager Brian Gaine can now address other needs to revamp what has been a mediocre offense.

Since the Texans are missing their first two picks in the 2018 NFL Draft, Houston will have to dig deep if they want to keep pace with a rapidly improving AFC South — a division the Texans have more-or-less dominated under O’Brien’s tenure.

In addition to a slot receiver, the Texans are thought to be in the tight end market this offseason. But looking back at O’Brien’s offensive philosophy, is tight end all that important to resurrecting a stagnant passing attack?
