No. 22 – Houston Texans

Texans reporter Tania Ganguli makes noises that Corey Coleman will be selected by the Texans at No. 22.

"DeAndre Hopkins doesn’t need blazing speed to beat defenders, but for the receiving corps as a whole, the Texans could stand to add some. They’ve already gotten faster with the addition of running back Lamar Miller. Adding Coleman, who ran the 40-yard dash in 4.37 seconds at his pro day, also will help."

Josh McSwain of Toro Times wondered recently which wideout the Texans will take at No. 22, and this much seems to be clear: Coleman won’t last past No. 24. If the Texans don’t nab him, either the Minnesota Vikings will at No. 23 or the Cincinnati Bengals the following pick.

5 positions Pats will address in 2016 NFL Draft

The Texans are a team Patriots fans need to watch in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft because they are a very much a new-look team with Brock Osweiler and Lamar Miller in the backfield. The Garoppolo-Osweiler matchup in Week 3 will be a barnburner, no doubt.

Next: No. 31 - Denver Broncos
