Yes. It's funny, we spent all this time talking about trading down and maybe never talked about trading up.

Here we go!
Fuller, nice pick!#

[Nconroe]

Fuller is ligit 4.32 speed. 30 TD at ND. Not bad.

A home run threat on every snap. A nice complement with Hopkins and Strong. Big investment to the offense which needed speed in the offseason and now have it with the additions of Fuller and Lamar Miller.

You want to know another receiver with questions about his hands out of college?

"I wouldn't label him a 'body catcher,' because he does grab the ball out in front of him, but he doesn't look really that natural (as a receiver)," said one personnel director. "He doesn't have those real, soft hands, you know?"

That's from an ESPN article in 2003 about Andre Johnson.

PFT reporting the Texans were targeting S Karl Joseph from West Virginia. I think Florio, who posted this article, went to WVU so maybe he knows someone there?

Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the Texans badly wanted former West Virginia safety Karl Joseph.

The Texans never got a chance to get him, because the Raiders surprisingly made Joseph the 14th overall selection — despite a torn ACL he suffered last year at practice.

This makes me wonder how they feel about Sean Davis and Vonn Bell. Maybe we could get Miles Killebrew. Heck TJ Green and KJ Dillon are possible too.

Will Fuller. Speedster with bad hands. 21 drops last year.

[chuck]

The Texans obviously liked this guy a lot more than any other receiver that was out there. I like that they went and got the guy they wanted rather than settling for whoever was left.

They still need someone to return kicks.

We moved up and lost a sixth rounder in2017.

[Arky]

I like it. Speed, baby.

Get him working with D-Hop to straighten him out re: drops...............

[Blitzwood]

I saw several Notre Dame games, and this kids talent jumps off the screen.
