    Real talk - can Miller actually challenge Brock for the QB spot? That would be interesting.

    No lol. Absolutely not. Miller will be our kick/punt return guy. Possibly a Percy Harvin type player

    One of Texans' goals in offseason was to get faster on offense: Combine times Lamar Miller 4.40, Will Fuller 4.32, Braxton Miller 4.43.

    Texans have needed speed for years and have really addressed that with the additions of Lamr Miller, Fuller, and Braxton Miller.

    I like it and Miller knows what to do with the ball in his hands.

    The best part of this is that Braxton offers you a backup QB as part of the package as well as a plan B if Osweiler flames out.

    I don't love the pick, but man is it interesting.

    I don't get it. Isn't he more of a wildcat type of player? Seems to me there's greater needs.

    It's a flashy pick but I don't think it feels a need especially in the 3rd round.
