Should the Houston Texans look at running back in the 2nd round?
Lache Seastrunk, Baylor
Another very talented running back to look at for the second round. I’m not kidding that the Texans really should look at running back in this round. I’m not saying draft one, but really take it into consideration.

His overview on his CBS draft page says:
"“Boasting a compact build with excellent vision, agility and burst, Seastrunk proved every bit the superstar once on the field for the Bears following a 2011 transfer from Oregon.”"
He’s described as a back with “terrific balance and sharp start/stop action.” His weaknesses are according to Rob Rang:
"“Seastrunk has gashed struggling defenses but has also struggled against legitimate defenses he has seen this season.”"
He finished with 1,177 yards and 11 TD this season, missing two games in 2013.
