There were a ton of WRs that had 3-4 round projections and, yes, I was surprised that they went with Posey since the Texans typically look for boy scouts without suspensions and other character issues.

After Posey was taken, the following WRs were selected:
69. T.J. Graham, NC State
83. Mohammed Sanu, Rutgers (some had us taking him in the 1st)
92. T.Y. Hilton, Florida Int'l
96. Chris Givens, Wake Forest
100. Travis Benjamin, Miami
104. Joe Adams, Arkansas
107. Devon Wylie, Fresno St.
118. Jarius Wright, Arkansas
123. Keshawn Martin, Michigan St. (by the Texans)
124. Nick Toon, Wisconsin
134. Greg Childs, Arkansas

My point being that even without considering other positions (and clearly the Texans were overdue to take a WR by this point in the draft), they had other options besides Posey and particularly so if they felt they wanted somebody who wouldn't take additional time to develop. I would have been happy with Sanu, Adams or Toon - all of which had been ranked much higher in a lot of mocks. Sanu already has a TD catch this preseason.
