Fringe 1st rounder FS Justin Reid fell in the NFL Draft to the Houston Texans. He was the first off the board for Stanford at no. 68 in the 3rd round. NFL.com predicted that Reid would be selected in rounds 1-2. Reid fits a need in Houston where he can be mentored by veteran safety Tyrann Mathieu in an excellent defense where his versatility can be put to good use.
DT Harrison Phillips went to the Buffalo Bills at the very end of the 3rd round after an Buffalo Bills super-fan fighting cancer named “Pancho Billa” announced his name.
