    Great pick. Never underestimate the genius of Rick Smith.

    The reaction saddens me, but I hope everything works out. Texans were determined to get faster... but faster with questionable hands?

    Wow, Dodtson (WR) drafted very next pick. These 2 players will be compared forever... especially in HOU.

    Didn't know about the return ability... Adds another dimension besides WR. Will he drop the kick, though?

    How does he compare to Tavon Austin?

    Why give up a 6th rounder to move up one spot? The Redskins already have a DeSean Jackson that CAN catch... Why would they draft another one that CAN'T catch? They weren't taking him.

    The reaction is the same every year.


    He'll be what this offense needs. I just don't know if he'll ever be a stud.

    He doesn't return kicks. His hands are bad because they are little.

    I hope I'm wrong about him I really do but the hands scare me.

    Not sure why we gave up a 6th for him, but I hope he produces. We need a WR for the occasional deep ball.

    Braddock is pretty nails as a wr evaluator each year and he absolutely hates fuller just like me. Thinks he is the most overrated player in the entire draft and said he won't get a second contract with the Texans

    I guess the Texans didn't get Doctson because they already have a big WR in Strong. So with Hopkins, Strong and have Fuller spread out the DBs, I guess this is a good Pick. I wanted Doctson but I knew with Strong's development, the Texans needed a fast WR. I was hoping they knew Cleveland would Draft Coleman because of the Gordon situation and traded up a little.

    But will fuller is a fast WR and he can be a really good secondary. His hands are suspect but it could be developed and improved with coaching and practice. Speed can't be taught.
