The Texans want to draft a receiver in the first round, but they may change their minds if Peter Konz is available. We've reported that the front office believes some team will outbid for Myers in free agency, so Houston will probably have a big need at the center position. In that case, Konz will be too difficult to pass up.

To take this mock further:

58 Houston Texans: Josh Chapman, NT, Alabama
I really like this pick for the Texans. They need help at nose tackle, and Wade Phillips prefers smaller players at the position. Plus, Houston has seemed to favor prospects out of the southeast in recent drafts. Josh Chapman is one of the top players available.

89 Houston Texans: Tommy Streeter, WR, Miami
It shouldn't shock anyone if the Texans decide to double up on receivers in the first few rounds. That is position is their No. 1 need by far.

121 Houston Texans: Marvin McNutt, WR, Iowa
Another receiver. The Texans are going to make upgrading a position a priority this offseason.

My take is that I do not see Meyers as a hard sign, only the Redskins employ the same type running scheme, Knapp came from a different coaching tree of the WCO and I do not believe he is married to the Shanahan/Kubiak running game. I am betting that Knapp will use a power running game similar to the one he used last time he was in Oakland.

As for multiple WR, we have Lestar Jean coming back to camp next year, he might be a big surprise for us.

I love the pick of Konz, I also would love getting Jeffery, so I have no clue what they do.

In the 2nd. I love Martin from Michigan for the NT or Brandon Boykin, CB, Georgia who has played both ways for the Bulldogs and is a top return guy.

AT 89, I would be ok with the Streeter pick or the guy selected next, Keenan Robinson, OLB, Texas, who I see as an ILB in our system. I also would have to look hard at Zeitler one of the best OG in the draft.

As for the last pick here, McNutt is solid and I like Dwight Jones also. I would have to look hard at Kheeston Randall, DE/DT, Texas who I see as a good solid fit for our DE, Smith is in the final year of his contract after all
