The consensus seems to be that he's the most NFL ready receiver in the draft and that's plainly what the team needs.

To summerize the pick, Hopkins was the most polished, complete receiver, with good size and speed, in the entire draft. He's gonna step in at the #2 and help this team win
NOW. There are no holes in his game, which is rare for a three year player.
C. Patterson was the sexier pick, imo, but he's probably a few years away from being at Hopkins' current level. There is also a risk he(Patterson) would never develop, ala Jacoby Jones, past where he is now.
Very Solid Pick by the Texans. A player like "Nuk" to complement AJ is long overdue.
