On Texans current roster have 4 TE and 10 WR and new coaches start OTA next week to see these guys.

I believe we can draft one or maybe two TEs that we could pair with the Two above and upgrade over the others on the roster. I happen to be a huge fan of 3-TE formations, especially if the TE can block as well as catch because it puts the defense in the horns of a dilemma - running formation or mismatch in the pass-game? Therefore, having 4 TEs is insurance against injury.

I also think a WR that would be better than Posey is possible. Possibly a 2nd that would compete with Martin as a Kick Returner. I did a mock draft where I had more than 11 picks and ended up taking a third WR in the 7th round just because he was the BPA. This is a deep draft full of talented WRs.
