It took some sacrifice, but the Houston Texans finally got their man.
If the Texans hadn’t drafted wide receiver Jaelen Strong in the third round, you’d have been right in calling this draft a failure. From the very beginning of the offseason the Texans set out to replace Andre Johnson, and minus two late-round picks and DeVier Posey, they look to have done that.
Busy on the phone all day, general manager Rick Smith pulled off another miracle to draft Strong on Friday night. A trade with the New York Jets sent the Texans up to the 70th spot with just enough time to draft perhaps the last remaining top-round talent at the wide receiver position.
