Houston Texans

Best Pick – J.J. Watt, DL, 11th Overall in 2011

Yea, another easy one. J.J. Watt is undoubtedly the best defensive player in the NFL, and can already be considered one of the all-time greats. There are no flaws in his game and he is dominant every single week.

Next.

Other selections considered:

Duane Brown, OT, 26th Overall in 2008

Brian Cushing, LB, 15th Overall in 2009

DeAndre Hopkins, WR, 27th Overall in 2013

Worst Pick – Amobi Okoye, DT, 10th Overall in 2007

Okoye was the youngest (and still is) the youngest player to ever be drafted in the first round at 19 years old. He graduated high school at age 15, so it was clear that academics were always going to have a strong influence on his football career. During his tenure with the Texans, he didn’t always seem 100% focused on football and was subsequently released in 2010. Okoye has bounced around the league since then, he is currently with the Dallas Cowboys.

Other selections considered:

Jason Babin, LB, 27th Overall in 2004
