If everyone plays up to capabilities meaning

• Myles Jack is ready and plays well
  
• Bouye is not a contract year wonder
  
• Ramsey improves from last year
  
• the pass rush improves
  

then this defense will will be a top five unit.

On paper a comparison with the Texans' defense would be interesting if all of the above happened.

They are stronger in the front seven, while we are stronger in the back seven.  Specifically, their defensive line is better than ours, and our secondary is better than theirs.

Question is, which LB corps is better?  Difficult to compare because of different schemes and different roles & responsibilities.  Right now, I'd have to give the edge to the Texans.
