Default Two Players In The Draft I Hope Texans Consider

Obviously, the Texans want players who will best meet their needs but here are two players I hope the Texans give consideration because of a special talent they would bring to the Texans:

Tyree Jackson, QB, Buffalo - This kid reminds me more of the early Steve McNair more than Deshaun Watson but his skillset is so similar to Watson's that he can come in to the same offense Watson runs should he ever get injured again and not miss a beat. After 2-3 years, Jackson can either take over for Watson or be fantastic trade bait depending on how it plays out.

Early projection: Round 2-4

Hunter Renfrow, WR, Clemson - Watson already has a go-to receiver in DeAndre Hopkins but adding his old college teammate to the mix can't hurt. Renfrow has excellent hands and gets open regularly. Renfrow is not an elite burner but I think he can quickly be a trusted option for Watson on 3rd and 4th downs particularly. Because of Hopkins, Renfrow will probably never face double coverage as a Texan.
