    Houston Texans select Will Fuller in the first round (#21 overall)

    Texans traded up from #22 to #21 (with Washington) to make this pick.

    I don't think Fuller returns kicks but it will be fun to watch Brock throwing him 60 yd bombs

    I agree with the pick because Rick Smith made it. He's been lights out in the first round.

    Effing terrible. Can't believe we passed on Doctson and Treadwell and Myles Jack for this scrub trackstar.

    Really think they wanted Coleman in my honest opinion...Fuller was probably #2 on their WR board. Not really sure why the passed on Treadwell though...

    I think he's the next Ted Ginn Jr.


    I hope he's better though.

    Really thought it'd be Doctson if we went WR. Hmmmm. Oh well, hope this is the right choice

    Turrible hands...

    Fast as hell but not explosive at all.

    IIRC, the most catches he had in a single game was like 7? He's not a guy you throw to and let him get it, he's a guy you hit when they sag on Hopkins. Some games gell be nonexistent.

    Great run blocker for someone so small.

    Physically a match for John Brown in AZ, but he doesn't have the hands or run the routes with the same precision. I'm worried John Brown is the wildly optimistic production estimate, white a significantly reduced reasonable expectation.

    Also, has no track record returning kicks and punts.

    :(

    That would be disappointing but hopefully he learns enough to go with his natural ability.

    Because he wants it all, or nothing at all.

    Take it for what it's worth Mayock says he has suspect hands. Mayock compared it to Ted Ginn Jr Hands.

    Speedster. Finally some excitement in special teams that Texans been lacking since Jacobey Jones.
