The Houston Texans are going with a receiver.
At least that is how the Draft Wire’s Luke Easterling sees the Texans addressing their offseason needs in his latest three-round mock draft. If Houston were to go with a receiver in the draft, it would mean that they let Will Fuller walk in free agency.
At No. 67 overall, St. Brown would provide decent value for the Texans. In his three seasons with the Trojans, St. Brown caught 178 passes for 2,270 yards and 16 touchdowns. He also returned 19 punts for 107 yards and two kickoffs for 43 yards.
Going with a receiver would be a signature way for new coach David Culley to start his first draft with the Texans. As a former receivers coach, Culley would be able to help St. Brown adjust to the pro game.
If the Texans were to take St. Brown and have Watson, the 6-1, 195-pound prospect’s ability to develop would be enhanced. If the Texans are going to have a quarterback carousel because they have dealt Watson, it may take a rookie like St. Brown time to adjust to the NFL.
