19. Houston Texans (via NYJ)

19. player. 10. The Houston Texans are at a point where they know they have something going at wide receiver with DeAndre Hopkins, Will Fuller and Braxton Miller. Throw in Lamar Miller at running back and it’s an offense with plenty of firepower. If there was one area that could use a significant upgrade it would be tight end. C.J. Fiedorowicz just hasn’t lived up to the expectations the team had for him since being drafted in the 3rd round a few years ago. <p>So they go for broke and trade up to secure Alabama phenom O.J. Howard. Though he’s not used much in the scheme, whenever he’s been the primary focus he has gashed opposing defenses. He’s that coveted mix of big, strong and athletic with the speed to threaten down the field. A basketball player in pads who can go up and get the football, creating problems for linebackers and safeties. Put him in that Texans attack and who do defenses cover?</p>. TE. Alabama. O.J. Howard
