The Houston Texans are playing chess with the rest of the AFC South while they are playing checkers. It makes all the sense; just trust me here.
Every team in the AFC South, and every team that is competing especially, so everyone but the Tennessee Titans, could use some help on defense. Even the 8-3 Jacksonville Jaguars could use some help up front getting to the passer and stopping the run.
Defensive line depth is never a bad thing, and the Texans need some more of it. Now, with their latest move, they will be adding that. Not only that, but they will be adding a veteran to a young defense.
On Monday, the Texans claimed former Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Derek Barnett off of waivers. Barnett was previously a first-round pick and has had 21 sacks in his career. While the numbers haven't been great, he can be a great mentor and even play a role in the run defense.
In my opinion, this was a steal by the Texans.

The Texans may have found something special.
