player. 10. Houston Texans owner Bob McNair is responsible for bringing in QB Brock Osweiler and he is committed to him. Not that there’s anything at quarterback worth their while here at No. 28 overall. But quarterback isn’t perceived as something the Texans are looking to address now. <p>The Texans just gave RB Lamar Miller a big contract too so salary cap room is an issue these days. So given his salary, the future of Brian Cushing with the Texans has to be in question now. He’s also been injured a lot so the Texans could look to get younger at inside linebacker.</p> <p>And there is one available here at No. 28 that looks like he’ll be a dynamic player the NFL. ILB Zach Cunningham has the instincts, physicality and athleticism to be a dynamic player in this league. He diagnoses plays quickly, sheds blocks and uses his speed to get to the ball in the run game.</p> <p>That speed along with his fluid hips help him excel in coverage against RBs and TEs. When it comes to tackling, he doesn’t miss and is very physical when bringing opposing ball-carriers down. The Texans can shed some salary and not miss a beat on defense with this pick.</p>. ILB. Vanderbilt. Zach Cunningham. 28
