The Houston Texans have signed WR Emeka Egbuka from Ohio State

The Houston Texans are considered one of the deepest teams in the NFL. They don’t have many holes in their roster, which could make it difficult to select their next first-round pick.

Bleacher Report’s Brett Sobleski suggests the Texans could take Ohio State wide receiver Emeka Egbuka, who went 31st overall to Houston in his last mock draft.

“Emeka Egbuka can’t imagine a better professional situation than being reunited with quarterback CJ Stroud,” Sobleski wrote. “Two seasons ago, Egbuka caught 74 passes for 1,151 yards. His numbers were nearly on par with Marvin Harrison Jr. Last year, Egbuka battled an ankle injury that ultimately required surgery. It limited his effectiveness and production. Despite being a potential first-round draft pick, the senior returned to campus. The Texans have plenty of talent at receiver with Stefon Diggs, Robert Woods, Nico Collins and Tank Dell. However, the first two are unsigned beyond this upcoming season. A trio of Collins, Dell and Egbuka as long-term targets for Stroud has the potential to become elite players.”

Reuniting Stroud and Egbuka sounds like a good idea in theory, but it’s hard to imagine the Texans drafting a receiver early in next year’s draft. The team is currently well-stocked at the position, and the logic doesn’t make much sense.

Egbuka may be the best player available on Houston’s board in this hypothetical scenario, but the Texans will likely have other pressing needs to use their first-round pick on.
