After last year, I wanted them to use every single draft pick on offensive playmakers so glad we have a coach that thinks like a fan lol

I was so sure they'd finally go defense here, but more speed and versatility for the offense is clearly the theme for their draft.

Problem is if Miller gets hurt. No way you can plug Ervin in for 25 carries. He's a lot like Fuller in that he is a role player only, not a bell cow.
HR ability out of the backfield either receiving or running. Good returner. Crazy burst. I'm digging it. Didn't need a guy to be a starter caliber RB, another weapon to use any many different ways.
Texans Fans (myself included) complained about having no offense last year. They sign Brock Osweiler, Lamar Miller. They draft Will Fuller, Braxton Miller, and now Tyler Ervin.
