Houston Texans 2nd-round receiver targets for NFL Draft 2022
By Jacob Burns
If these two are available in round two, the Texans can’t make the call soon enough.
Treylon Burks (Arkansas)
I’ll keep these two short and sweet due to the high unlikeliness. Burks was a monster at Arkansas last season, finishing with over 1,100 yards and 11 touchdowns. The problem is there’s about a 10-percent chance he’s available at Houston’s 37th pick, according to ESPN Analytics. If he’s there somehow, fantastic, but we shouldn’t get our hopes up.

Chris Olave (Ohio State)
Much like Burks, there’s a slim chance Chris Olave joins the Texans in the second round. Despite being ranked lower than Burks, according to CBS Sports, Olave actually has less than a 10-percent chance of being available at pick No. 37. It’s understandable though, considering Olave is coming off a 13-touchdown season. His versatility would be a great fit in Houston’s offense. Unfortunately, it’s just unlikely to happen.
Now let’s move on to some real options.
