#21. Houston Texans: Jared Crick
PFF grade (position rank): -16.8 (52nd)
2015 salary cap hit: $1.6 million
If the one-man LVP committee considered postseason performance, Brian Hoyer would merit strong consideration here for his horrific four-pick game against Kansas City in the playoffs. As it stands, however, Hoyer provided stability to a position Houston gravely needed competence from.
Crick, on the other hand, provided subpar play at the defensive end spot not occupied by J.J. Watt. Since teams often direct a lot of attention towards Watt, that opens up opportunities for his other defensive linemen to thrive. Crick did not take advantage of that dream scenario, compiling just two sacks and 29 solo tackles while playing a career-high 75.9 percent of Houston’s defensive snaps.
