Dan Brugler has the Texans taking Rueben Randle out of LSU:
No. 26 Rueben Randle, WR, LSU Tigers: Although he still has many years left as a dominant lead target, wide receiver Andre Johnson isn't getting any younger and the Texans saw what life would be without him as he missed nine games last season because of hamstring injuries. While Arian Foster and the rushing offense picked up the slack, Johnson's absence exposed a need for more weapons at receiver. Randle was underutilized in the Tigers' run-first offense, but finished third in the SEC in receiving and averaged 17.3 yards per catch.
Rob Rang predicts that the Texans will draft Baylor wide receiver Kendall Wright:
No. 26 Kendall Wright, WR, Baylor Bears: The Texans obviously boast one of the league's preeminent receivers in Andre Johnson but his inability to remain healthy and Houston's relative inconsistent depth behind him make wide receiver an area of concern. Wright is slipping on draft boards after a shockingly disappointing week at the Combine in which the playmaker was timed at just 4.61 seconds in the 40-yard dash. Houston scouts will know better than most about Wright's big play potential and might envision his speed and elusiveness as a perfect complement to Johnson.
