    A bit of a reach. Hopefully it pushes someone good down to the Texans' slot.

    Bruce Irvin is straight heat. He will be a pro bowler soon enough. Great pick.

    Saban gets more out of his player than any NFL coach can.

    Be weary of the Saban factor.

    Texans need to pick this guy up ,U cant teach height and speed but knowing the Texans I expect a shocker lol


    Stephen Hill*, WR, Georgia Tech
    Height: 6-4. Weight: 215.
    40 Time: 4.36. 10-Yd Split: 1.20.
    Vertical: 39.5
    Broad: 11-1.
    Hand: 9 3/8.
    Projected Round (2012): 1-2.
    4/24/12: Hill was one of the stars of the Combine with his lightning-fast 40 time. He also performed well in the field drills. At his pro-day, Hill impressed scouts with his route running, and he seems to have solidified his stock as a late first-rounder, or early second-rounder. There is talk that he could be a surprise pick in the middle of the first round.

    After Calvin Johnson and Demaryius Thomas, Hill is the latest in a line of Yellow Jackets receivers who are big, fast playmakers who were underutilized at Georgia Tech. He is a raw receiver with big upside and a high ceiling. Hill has big size but also is very fast. At the pro level, he will need some development, but could turn into a steal.

    Hill made big catches downfield, and averaged 29.3 yards per catch this season. The Yellow Jackets' offense didn't throw the ball often, but when it did, he was typically wide open as defenses were so focused on stopping the option running attack. Hill caught 28 passes for 820 yards and five touchdowns last year. In 2010, as a sophomore, he had 15 receptions for 291 yards with three scores.

    Irvin will be a bust. Off the field issues will plague his career.

    Nah that's not why. I think he'll be fine. I actually watched WVU games (my dad is an alum) His issue is that he's a niche player and doesn't have a complete game. Great 3rd down pass rusher but he isn't an every down player in my mind.

    They reached on him based on his talent. But I'm fairly confident that his off the field stuff is behind him.

    He wouldve been perfect as a second rounder. But that high in the 1st is a reach.

    Texans should, at minimum, get a great OL prospect
