In less than a week, the Houston Texans, along with the other 31 NFL teams, will feast on the open market for all of the available free agents, with an ultimate goal of improving the team.

In an annual collaboration with the man known only as Big Ron, State of the Texans complied a realistic look on who the Texans could be targeting in regards to need and the money it would take to bring in the potential target.

The list includes 40 soon-to-be unrestricted free agents who are set to hit the market unless they strike a deal with their current team. We did not include restricted free agents in this list.

Enjoy.

Lamar Miller, Miami, 5-10, 212 lbs.

194 872 4.5 8 47628 2,930 4.6 19 117

The Dolphins have stated they will do everything they can to keep Miller. Miller wants to go somewhere he will be used more. That could be Houston. The Dolphins also have an up and coming back in Jay Ajayi, so the jury remains out on Miller's status. My guess is that he walks due to wanting to get paid more. (Eric Roddy)

Ronnie Hillman, Denver, 5-10, 195 lbs.

207 863 4.2 7 24453 1,845 4.1 12 67

Despite not being a great fit for the zone blocking scheme, Hillman maintained his starting role in the Broncos backfield all the way until the Super Bowl, when C.J. Anderson took over. Hillman is young and has stayed healthy. He improved his pass protection significantly, but still needs work there. Overall, he's a great change of pace back, but definitely not a bell-cow. (Chad Jensen)

[[{"fid":"19454","view_mode":"teaser","fields":{"format":"teaser","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":"Redskins RB Alfred Morris","field_folder[und]":"1"},"type":"media","attributes":{"title":"Redskins RB Alfred Morris","height":"108","width":"220","class":"media-element file-teaser"}}]]

Alfred Morris Washington, 5-10, 219 lbs.

202 751 3.7 11,078 4.4 4.4 29

In spite of his youth and good health, the decline in Morris’ productivity (attempts, yards, scores) and efficiency (average per carry) screams at you. No one can figure it out, least of all Redskins’ head coach Jay Gruden. More than likely, this is a question of fit. Gruden favors bigger backs that can either power through Washington’s questionable interior line, or classic west coast offense backs who speed to the edge and can catch out of the backfield. Morris excelled in Mike Shanahan’s offense as a one-cut rusher in a zone blocking scheme. If Morris were a quarterback, Gruden would have banished him to outer Siberia, as he did to his last two QB starters (ahem). Gruden did the next best thing to Morris. He eased up his 2015 attempts after his workhorse carries in his first three seasons. Thus, Morris might have fresh legs coming into the season, in spite of rushing for 210 more attempts in four seasons than Doug Martin. (Anthony Brown)

Chris Ivory New York Jets, 6-0, 222 lbs.

247 1,070 4.3 7883 4,031 4.6 24

Of course the Jets would love to have Ivory return, when he's completely healthy he is a constant force that will drive defenses crazy with his mixture of power and shifty quickness. He has also improved as a receiver and has the ability to wear down an entire defense. The only problem is the things that make him great as a runner also make him unreliable for an entire season. His style of running is an absolute joy to watch and can bruise the bodies and egos of defenders but it can also bruise and hamper his ability to be at his best. (Christopher Nimbley)

Bilal Powell, New York Jets, 5-11, 207 lbs.

70 313 4.5 1402 1,609 4.0 7

Powell makes the most sense to bring back, but it wouldn't be to give him the lead back role or anything. Powell won't cost them much money, is an excellent pass blocker and second running back. He is a good receiver and an efficient runner, he sees the hole and he hits the hole. The Jets offense was at it's best last season when Powell was healthy. (Christopher Nimbley)

Running Back Analysis:

There is no need to even hide the fact the Texans, now more than ever, have to get someone who can handle the load at running back with Arian Foster now no longer with the team. Lamar Miller will be in the front of everyone’s wish list but with him wanting more than $5 million a year, that could be too steep of price for the back. Ronnie Hillman and Alfred Morris both have been starters for their respective teams. Hillman is more of a speed back who needs to get north and south in a hurry, while Morris has shown that he can be a top back in the NFL with a full workload.

Two to watch are the New York Jets duo of Chris Ivory and Bilal Powell. Texans offensive line coach Mike Devlin, who formerly held the same position with the Jets, has a good idea the traits that both backs bring to the table. Devlin helps set up the running game for the Texans on gameday and he knows what Bill O’Brien wants for the offense. These two are sleepers to land with the Texans if they hit the open market.

Wide Receiver

[[{"fid":"66559","view_mode":"teaser","fields":{"format":"teaser","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":"Marvin Jones","field_folder[und]":"1"},"type":"media","attributes":{"title":"Marvin Jones","height":"84","width":"220","class":"media-element file-teaser"}}]]

Marvin Jones, Cincinnati

65 816 12.6 4134 1,729 12.9 15

Due to a weak wide receiver market, the Bengals' Marvin Jones figures to be just as popular in free agency, if Cincinnati doesn't sign him first. Jones, however, said he owes it to himself to hit the open market. Jones has missed 21 games in four years while averaging 58 receptions, 764 yards and seven touchdowns in his last two healthy seasons. (Marc Hardin)

Rishard Matthews, Miami

Matthews is also likely out in Miami as he will want WR1 type of money. He has sure hands and is a perfect route runner. He'll thrive where he is featured more, but didn't fit in with the busy receiving corps in Miami. (Eric Roddy)

43 662 15.4 4107 1,396 13.0 8

[[{"fid":"74325","view_mode":"teaser","fields":{"format":"teaser","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":"Jermaine Kearse","field_folder[und]":"1"},"type":"media","attributes":{"title":"Jermaine Kearse","height":"124","width":"220","class":"media-element file-teaser"}}]]

Jermaine Kearse Seattle

49 685 14.0 5112 1,599 14.3 10

Kearse lacks elite size or speed but he's a savvy route-runner with terrific body control and a knack for making big catches in critical moments. He's a functional starter in the NFL but is more of a complementary threat than a centerpiece. (Rob Rang)

[[{"fid":"35423","view_mode":"teaser","fields":{"format":"teaser","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":"Andre Holmes","field_folder[und]":"1"},"type":"media","attributes":{"title":"Andre Holmes","height":"146","width":"220","class":"media-element file-teaser"}}]]

Andre Holmes, Oakland

Andre Holmes is an interesting prospect at the receiver position. He is a big target that does a phenomenal job getting up and attacking the ball at the high point. His leaping ability added to his length gives him a real advantage over defenders. He's a solid prospect due to the fact that he fits the mold of a play-making wide receiver - big, tall guy with breakaway speed especially on go routes. (Chris McClain)

Rod Streater, Oakland

It wasn't long ago that Streater led the Raiders in receiving, totaling 60 receptions for 888 yards and four touchdowns in 2013. He has since missed games due to injuries and it seems like he has slowed a little because of them. That, coupled with the Raiders getting Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree, gave Streater limited action last year (just one appearance and one catch). He's a solid receiver that does a good job catching the ball with his hands. The key for him would be his health - if he can return to the form he had a couple of years ago it would be a nice addition. He's a solid receiver and a good character in the locker room - he certainly works hard at his craft. (Chris McClain)

Travis Benjamin, Cleveland

Travis Benjamin is a player the Browns would like to have back. He sure picked a great time to have his best year as a WR. In fact, Benjamin doubled his career receptions, yards and touchdown numbers in 2015. Travis is one of the fastest players in the league. He is not the ideal size for a WR. He has decent hands, and could be a very dangerous #2 or #3 option in an offense. He can blow the top off of coverage, and getting him the ball in space on either a bubble screen or a drag route across the middle can be trouble for defenses. He has decent hands, except for a case of the yips on punt returns a couple of years ago. He seems to have put that behind him however. Benjamin is small and has had his share of injuries throughout his career. Last year he missed time with injuries to his ribs, shoulder and ankle. He has a concussion history and missed half a year in 2013 with an ACL. (Rick Grayshock)

Wide Receivers Analysis:

68 966 14.2 5109 1,683 15.4 10

The wide receiver market is weak and the Texans have to make sure they do not overspend for a potential pass catching threat. Marvin Jones leads the pack as one of the top targets and though riddled with injuries, he answered the bell in 2015, having his best season as a pro. Rishard Matthews wants to get out of Miami and now is the time. Matthews can play either outside or inside and the Texans like that kind of versatility. Texans need reliable pass catchers and Jermaine Kearse fits that. Not overly fast, he has what it takes to work the middle of the field in the passing game.

Two athletic options are both Raiders: Andre Holmes and Rod Streater. Both can flip the field with their speed and are very athletic targets who can handle one-on-one situations.

The best multipurpose receiver is Travis Benjamin. He can return kicks and punts and has the ability to be a threat in the passing game. Speed is his game and, finally overcoming injuries, Benjamin has set himself up for a nice payday.

Tight Ends

Zachary Miller , Chicago, 6-5, 240 lbs.

34 439 12.9 579 909 11.5 9

Miller showed last season that he possesses enough pass-catching talent to be a No. 1 tight end in the NFL. He was scarcely used through the first half of the season but he emerged in Week 9, catching a one-handed, game-winning touchdown in the 4th quarter against the Chargers. The following week, he caught 5 passes for 107 yards and 2 TDs. From that point on, he was a focal point of Chicago's passing attack, particularly after Martellus Bennett was placed on IR in Week 12. Miller finished the year with 34 catches for 439 yards and a team-leading 5 TDs. His 439 yards matched Bennett's yardage total, but Miller did it with 19 fewer catches, which shows his big-play ability. The concerns with Miller are three-plus years of inactivity due to injury between 2011-2014, as well as him being 31. With age and injuries, he carries a lot of risk, but when he's healthy, he's a true pass-catching weapon. (Jeremy Stoltz)

[[{"fid":"13908","view_mode":"teaser","fields":{"format":"teaser","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":"Ladarius Green","field_folder[und]":"1"},"type":"media","attributes":{"title":"Ladarius Green","height":"124","width":"220","class":"media-element file-teaser"}}]]

Ladarius Green, San Diego, 6-6, 238 lbs.

37 429 11.6 477 1,087 14.1 7

Ladarius Green is a bit of a peculiar one. Touted as a tight end “with extreme potential” for many years, he didn’t get much work until last season, likely because of who he sat behind (Antonio Gates). The reason he’s peculiar is because it seemed like he never got enough playing time in San Diego, even though he’s such a mismatch. With his size and strength, he tends to beat out most defenders. He had some injury issues over the years (including a number of concussions) but he would be an asset to any team. Hard worker, learned under Gates, takes the game seriously and could be a big threat if a team used him right. (Annie Heilbronn)

[[{"fid":"74312","view_mode":"teaser","fields":{"format":"teaser","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":"Logan Paulen","field_folder[und]":"1"},"type":"media","attributes":{"title":"Logan Paulen","height":"124","width":"220","class":"media-element file-teaser"}}]]

Logan Paulsen Washington, 6-5, 264 lbs.

Logan Paulsen. There is much to like in Paulsen’s story. He is a mystery as a player, however, after spending the entire 2015 season in IR. Only the Redskins and Paulsen’s agent know his true health status. The coaches like his work ethic. He was good enough to make the roster as a blocking tight end. With the emergence of Jordan Reed and Niles Paul’s return from injury, depth player Paulsen is expendable. (Anthony Brown)

[[{"fid":"74313","view_mode":"teaser","fields":{"format":"teaser","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":"James Hanna","field_folder[und]":"1"},"type":"media","attributes":{"title":"James Hanna","height":"124","width":"220","class":"media-element file-teaser"}}]]

James Hanna Dallas, 6-4, 249 lbs.

9 79 8.8 033 286 8.7 0

James Hanna is a DFW local The Cowboys draft because he was projected to be a receiving tight and speed. Instead he has developed into another direction: he is an important blocker in this offense. The Cowboys hope to retain him on a very affordable contract - and especially have a need for him as Jason Witten ages and as Gavin Escobar is coming off serious injury. (Mike Fisher)

[[{"fid":"74314","view_mode":"teaser","fields":{"format":"teaser","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":"Coby Fleener","field_folder[und]":"1"},"type":"media","attributes":{"title":"Coby Fleener","height":"124","width":"220","class":"media-element file-teaser"}}]]

Coby Fleener ,Indianapolis, 6-6, 251 lbs.

54 491 9.1 3183 2,154 11.8 17

With the Colts bringing back Jack Doyle, the chances of both Coby Fleener and Dwayne Allen returning are slim. Fleener fits what the Texans need, a pass catcher that can flex out and attack the middle of the field. A true red-zone threat, Fleener's production dipped with Andrew Luck on the shelf for majority of the season. His talent it there, he just needs to find a place where his pass catching ability can flourish.

[[{"fid":"74315","view_mode":"teaser","fields":{"format":"teaser","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":"Scott Chandler","field_folder[und]":"1"},"type":"media","attributes":{"title":"Scott Chandler","height":"124","width":"220","class":"media-element file-teaser"}}]]

Scott Chandler, New England,

23 259 11.3 4205 2,379 11.6 21

Scott Chandler, the former Buffalo Bill who signed with New England last offseason, just didn’t live up to expectations and it was simply time for the Patriots to move on. Chandler started four games and appeared in 15; he finished with 42 targets, 23 receptions, 259 yards, and four touchdowns. He was a decent red zone threat but again, he just wasn’t the threat they expected him to be and it made sense to cut him and save the cap dollars. (Chris Simoneau)

Tight End Analysis:

The Texans need help and they will find another option at tight end. How they address it is one thing but there are plenty available on the market who can come in and possibly start from day one.

Zach Miller is an under the radar starter who has shown he can carry a passing game. Ladarius Green is still waiting to hit his potential as a player and achieve the athleticism he possesses. Logan Paulsen missed last season due to an injury but he is a solid combination of blocking and passing for the position. James Hanna is a young option and is a solid inline player.

The two tight ends who could help in a hurry are the Colts Coby Fleener and the recently released Scott Chandler. Chandler was a solid compliment in the Patriots passing game and he is a reliable target who could possibly be a number one option.

Fleener fits what the Texans are looking for from the position. He can run the seams and is a reliable enough pass catcher. He has shown that he can create issues in the middle of the field and help whichever quarterback ends up starting week one. He would also balance out the Texans offensively and take pressure off the wide receivers from trying to do all the work.

Offensive Guards

[[{"fid":"52572","view_mode":"teaser","fields":{"format":"teaser","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":"Alex Boone","field_folder[und]":"1"},"type":"media","attributes":{"title":"Alex Boone","height":"145","width":"220","class":"media-element file-teaser"}}]]

Alex Boone, San Francisco, 6-8, 300 lbs.

Boone has been a polarizing figure since taking over the starting right guard job in 2012 after converting from tackle, where he played collegiately at Ohio State. Last season, Boone missed training camp after holding out for a new contract heading into the final year of his rookie deal. He signed for $6 million over two seasons with a clause that prevents the 49ers from using the franchise tag. Boone moved from right guard to left guard this season, replacing Iupati, in order to ease the transition to left tackle should starter Joe Staley get injured. (Chris Biderman)

[[{"fid":"33428","view_mode":"teaser","fields":{"format":"teaser","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":"Vladimir Ducasse has a tenuous grasp on his starting gig","field_folder[und]":"1"},"type":"media","attributes":{"title":"Vladimir Ducasse has a tenuous grasp on his starting gig","height":"147","width":"220","class":"media-element file-teaser"}}]]

Vladimir Ducasse, Chicago, 6-5, 325 lbs.

Ducasse started the first 9 games of 2015 at right guard for the Bears. He was adequate as a run blocker and he showed good movement on pulls and traps, as well as at the second level. Yet he was porous in pass protection, so much so that he was benched by Week 10. He ended up starting two more games to close out the season but that was due to injuries. He's a one-dimensional interior blockers, one who can move the pile in the run game but who can also look like a turnstile in pass pro. (Jeremy Stoltz)

Jahri Evans, New Orleans, 6-4, 318 lbs.

One of the most beloved Saints players of all-time. Without question, the greatest offensive guard in franchise history & 2nd best Saint OL ever behind Hall of Famer Willie Roaf. Part of the best Saints draft class in 35 years (Reggie Bush, Marques Colston, Roman Harper, Zach Strief, Rob Ninkovich & Evans...). 6-time Pro Bowl player. Saints wanted Jahri to stay but they are in salary cap hell & asked him to take a pay cut for the 2nd straight year...and he declined). Evans is not the Pro Bowl player he was 5 years ago, but still a solid NFL guard. I highly recommend him for 2 more years. (Scott Alexander)

Manuel Ramirez, Detroit, 6-3, 325 lbs.

The Broncos traded Ramirez during last year's draft to Detroit. While in Denver, he was an above average starter, but had a hard time getting past his Super Bowl 48 snafu, when he snapped the ball over Peyton's head on the opening play. He can play anywhere inside and is more suited to a traditional, power blocking scheme. (Chad Jensen)

Offensive Tackles

[[{"fid":"30610","view_mode":"teaser","fields":{"format":"teaser","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":"Chiefs T Donald Stephenson","field_folder[und]":"1"},"type":"media","attributes":{"title":"Chiefs T Donald Stephenson","height":"150","width":"220","class":"media-element file-teaser"}}]]

Donald Stephenson, Kansas City, 6-6, 312 lbs.

The 27-year-old Stephenson has been the swing tackle in Kansas City the past four seasons, making 21 starts. He started the first five games of the season at left tackle for Kansas City in 2015 and also played some guard. Stephenson is a better run blocker than he is a pass blocker, which could make a permanent move to guard more attractive.

[[{"fid":"74324","view_mode":"teaser","fields":{"format":"teaser","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":"Joe Barksdale","field_folder[und]":"1"},"type":"media","attributes":{"title":"Joe Barksdale","height":"124","width":"220","class":"media-element file-teaser"}}]]

Joe Barksdale, San Diego, 6-5, 326 lbs.

San Diego's only offensive lineman to start every game last season. Seriously, that O-Line was like a revolving door except for Barksdale. He was dependable, stout, respected. He was a steal for Telesco, at just over $1 million for the hear, and proved to be one of their greatest assets in protecting Philip Rivers. Came in at right tackle but ended up having to play left too, because of injuries. Ended season with 1,150 snaps, second among NFL tackles. (Annie Heilbrunn)

Offensive Line Analysis:

The Texans have to protect their offensive line just in case either Ben Jones or Brandon Brooks leaves. If Brooks leaves, the Texans could be looking for a solid veteran to step in until they get a younger player ready for the position. Alex Boone, former Devlin pupil Vladimir Ducasse, and long-time Saints guard Jhari Evans can be instant plugs at the right guard. Manny Ramirez is a dual player who can work either at center or guard, which gives the team options.

One position not getting enough attention is left tackle with the Duane Brown injury situation. The Texans have to find a reliable starter and with no real premier left tackles on the market, the Texans might be better suited to swing Derek Newton to left tackle and sign a right tackle.

Donald Stephenson is an athletic option at right tackle who can play physically and the Texans found out firsthand twice last season how he can dominate. Joe Barksdale is a veteran presence who had one of his best seasons as a pro in 2015 with the Chargers on a one-year deal.

Offensive tackle has turned into a big need in a matter of an off-season.

Defensive Line

Jaye Howard, Kansas City, 6-3, 301 lbs.

57 11 5.5 9 1/2

Jaye Howard is a solid player. He's been a key cog in Kansas City’s defense the last two years. He took the majority of the snaps at Defensive Tackle early this season until Dontari Poe recovered from his Summer back surgery. Together on the field they were dynamite together. Even though the Chiefs run a base 3-4 defense, Howard was the glue of the teams defensive line. Though the Chiefs have tried to re-sign Howard, his agent Drew Rosenhous insists that he can get $9-10 million per year for his client. That's too rich for Kansas City but we have heard the Chicago Bears and Atlanta Falcons are showing strong interest. (Nick Athan)

Ian Williams, San Francisco, 6-1, 305 lbs.

With Glenn Dorsey suffering a torn ACL last month, San Francisco's depth along the defensive line isn't what it once was. Losing Williams would be another big hit. He's been arguably the team's best defensive lineman, while Dorsey won't likely be ready until midway through 2016, at the earliest.

Ahtyba Rubin, Seattle, 6-2, 325 lbs.

36 2 2 4 0/0

After being thrown on the scrap heap by Cleveland, Rubin resurrected his career in Seattle, emerging as a steady run-stuffing presence in the middle. He's broad, strong and tough, projecting well to a two-gap scheme but isn't particularly quick or agile, making him a limited pass rusher. (Rob Rang)
