Round 6, Pick 166: Thomas Graham, CB, Oregon
The Texans need a big boost at cornerback this offseason. While Bradley Roby played well, but serving a suspension to end the year, after him there is no depth whatsoever. Do not expect Vernon Hargreaves to be re-signed, leaving another starter out the door.
While it is the sixth round, the Texans land another cornerback here in the form of Oregon’s Thomas Graham. Look for him to make a name for himself this week at the Senior Bowl.
Round 6, Pick 179: Joshua Bledsoe, S, Missouri
Another player who will look to make an impact at the Senior Bowl, Missouri safety Josh Bledsoe brings a violent style of play from the third level of the defense. Next to Justin Reid, this is an absolute must for the Texans as they look to overhaul their secondary.
Round 6, Pick 189: Isaiah McKoy, WR, Kent State
One of this writer’s favorite sleepers in this year’s draft class, Kent State’s Isaiah McKoy has big time playmaking ability deep down the field as a vertical threat. With the departure of Fuller, this will be a hole of massive need that the likes of Randall Cobb and Keke Coutee cannot fill.
Listed at 6-foot-3 and 185 pounds, McKoy is a high school track star who racked up 455 yards and five touchdowns this season in just four games. If he can get over his drop issues, then McKoy can be a big time threat at the next level.
