The Texans made their first selection of the second round by taking a cornerback, Lonnie Johnson from the University of Kentucky. He fills an immediate need for the Texans who have an empty cornerback room. This is what NFL.com had to say about him:
Long and tall with physical traits galore, Johnson looks the part but lacks the consistency and ball skills expected of a starting NFL cornerback. He has enough athleticism to make it as a cornerback, but he could be tied to a press-and-trail scheme where some of his coverage deficiencies can be covered up.
