Houston Texans (from MIN): Troy Franklin, WR, Oregon Arming Stroud with another weapon should rank among the Texans’ priorities. Franklin, who had 81 catches for 1,383 yards and 14 touchdowns as a junior at Oregon, would give him another speedy receiver (4.41 40) who is a precise route runner and possesses good size at 6-2, 176.
There are lot's of choices at WR, so unless one sticks out of the second waive, they will fall as teams focus on other positions with less depth.
Wow! I did not realize Tanor Bortolini bore such a strong resemblance to my oldest son. But my son is 6'8".
Eight such mocks are out there currently, and only two had the same player headed to Houston. The other six were split evenly with three predicting a defensive lineman to the Texans, and three others mocking a receiver to Houston. Iowa State cornerback T.J. Tampa appeared on two mocks drafts as the player Houston would take at 42nd overall. Last season for the Cyclones, the 6-1, 189-pounder finished with 44 tackles and a pair of interceptions.

With all the Dlinemen signed in FA, I'm starting to have a strong feeling we're going skill position with our first pick. WR, CB or S feel to be the three positions.
I have a feeling a lot of WRs will be picked in the 1st round. That means a lot of good defensive guys will be there at 42.
He's plenty productive at his weight. I mean he won the Lomdardi award. What more do you want? Dude's a great player who moves extremely well for his size. You're taking a chance of loss of production if you ask him to lose weight.
I never said he wasn’t productive as is and I’ve been saying I’m a fan. Especially since I’m a longhorn fan. I just wonder if he could be better. Why wouldn’t we want better?
