Kevin Johnson. 1. player. 10. <p>The Houston Texans have Jadeveon Clowney coming back from injury to go with J.J. Watt to rush the passer. Their secondary can use some work so they picked up cornerback Kevin Johnson in the first round. The Texans are going to need all the help they can get, going against Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck and his receivers.</p> <p>In the second round, the Texans built on their top-10 run defense with the selection of inside linebacker Benardrick McKinney. McKinney can also come off the edge so he’s got some versatility value to work with. This selection makes the Texans front-seven, that just added nose tackle Vince Wilfork in it through free agency to it, even more formidable.</p> <p>In the third round the Texans selected another steal of the draft candidate in receiver Jaelen Strong. Strong was projected to go in the first round before he was found to have a wrist injury that required surgery. He’s the most sure-handed receiver in the draft with his height and speed making him the perfect replacement for Andre Johnson.</p>. CB. Wake Forest
