At #107, super excited about RB Pierce. Love runners that are willing to cut inside, initiate contact, and flow downhill. Too many guys flash in college by bouncing outside and getting cheap gains that are non-existent with the speed of the pros.
Texans then traded up again, giving #166 (5th) & #207 (6th) to the Bears for #150 (5th) to select DL Thomas Booker from Stanford. Booker is a sub-5 forty athlete, 6'3" 301#. Will be a versatile contributor on the DL. Some Stanford guys already in the house at Kirby (Mills, Pep) probably know this smart guy quite a bit.
At #170, Texans select Oregon TE Teagan Quitoriano, 6'5" 256. 4.9 forty profiles as more of a blocking TE but has solid hands. Might lose in a footrace against Booker, which probably says more about Booker than anything.
