Corey Coleman. 22. player. 10. . WR. Baylor

As I wrote earlier, Josh Doctson is the best receiver in the draft, in my opinion.  However, the Texans need to stretch the field and open up the underneath routes for guys like Jaelen Strong, while preventing teams from focusing solely on star DeAndre Hopkins.

Drafting Baylor wide receiver Corey Coleman is the better fit in Houston, and is the 22nd pick of the draft because of it.

New running back Lamar Miller will benefit greatly from a defense stretching to cover two dangerous threats downfield, and new quarterback Brock Osweiler will have a real chance of showing he’s worth the salary he’s getting from the Texans.

Previously:  Josh Doctson – WR – TCU

Next: 23. Minnesota Vikings
