25. Houston Texans

10. People may try to hint that Reuben Foster will fall out of the first round due to his combine mishaps but the reality is none of them are strong enough to let that happen. Houston needs new blood at inside linebacker and he’s exactly the sort of merciless hunter they want.. ILB. Alabama. Reuben Foster . 25. player

57. Houston Texans

player. 10. It’s probably earlier than he should go but the Texans know if they want any sort of young quarterback they can work with, they have to strike in the first two rounds. Brad Kaaya has mobility and inconsistency issues, but when he’s locked in he has the tools to ring up stats like a pinball machine.. QB. Miami Fl.. Brad Kaaya . 57

89. Houston Texans

CB. Colorado. Ahkello Witherspoon . 89. player. 10. It wasn’t a big surprise that they lost A.J. Bouye to free agency, but the Texans have to move quickly to fill the void he left behind. Ahkello Witherspoon is a long corner with solid athleticism who has no problems being left to his own devices in man coverage.

130. Houston Texans

Bucknell. Julie'n Davenport . 130. player. 10. A fascinating mold of clay. Perhaps the most athletically gifted tackle in the 2017 class but as yet raw in his fundamentals and lacking in his power. If both problems can be addressed, Julie’n Davenport could end up being one of the steals of this draft.. OT

142. Houston Texans

10. Receivers with size and vertical ability tend to do well at the NFL level. Josh Reynolds is one such type. He could stand to add more muscle mass but his ability to track the football, go get it in the air and carry corners deep are exciting traits to work with.. WR. Texas A&M. Josh Reynolds . 142. player

169. Houston Texans

10. Stopping the run can be a lost art for teams these days. Having guys who know how to do it are valuable. Isaac Rochell is one such type, and he makes a great fit for that Texas defensive end spot.. DE. Notre Dame. Isaac Rochell . 169. player

243. Houston Texans

A bigger back who showcases a sneaky versatile skills set with a hard running style but also advanced knowledge of running routes. Another of those late round types who can easily become a starter down the road.. RB. Cincinnati. Tion Green . 243. player. 10
