Mel Kiper from ESPN released his latest two-round mock draft, and the Houston Texans add key pieces on defense with their first three picks.
The Texans shore up their pass rush with their first pick of the draft at No. 3 overall by selecting Georgia defensive end Travon Walker.
I don’t think anyone outside the organization really knows what the Texans will do in Round 1. For this mock, I’m trying to think long-term with Houston, which just has to add some talent. Walker is a bit of risk in the top 10; NFL teams are betting that his physical tools will win out over his subpar college production (9.5 sacks in three seasons). Coaches want to try to maximize that upside. There is a lot of buzz on Walker going early.
