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.

Were it mine to do, I would have offered the Broncos the same move down and have two third-rounders. With my three top guys all off the board at #22, I would have moved down to #31 and added #94, selected Ifedi or a d-lineman and come back in the second to take Martin, Shepard, Chris Jones or Nassib depending on how the chips fell.

Fuller might have still been there at #31 anyway. Rob Rang had him listed as the 35th best prospect in the draft.

Until proven otherwise, I see Fuller as a guy whose upside is Alvin Harper and his downside is Darius Heywood-Bey. Not worth the 21st or 22nd pick but in the discussion at the beginning of Round 2.

I fully agree with you, Bob.

Can't say I was jumping for joy at the pick but we've been slow and shallow at the WR position since inception. I can see Hopkins, Fuller and Miller with Strong essentially playing the move TE position all being on the field at once. Adds a lot more dimension to our offense to be sure. Our D will be fine...be nice to have a ball hawking safety and another dynamic DL but you can't get everything...maybe something will fall in our laps on day 3 that surprises everyone down the road.

Seems reviews of Will Fuller all over, Lance Zerlein included in this summarization.

I heard an interview on 610 with his coach. Coach said not bad hands, but occasionally starts thinking of run before ball caught. Says he is tough and gained weight this past year.

So, being positive and hope to see best on the field. His production was pretty good in TDs.
