Houston Texans Feel “lucky” To Get Lineman Duane Brown
26 overall pick, they felt it was a gamble by general manager Rick Smith. They were hoping they could slip down eight picks and still get the guy they wanted. But it wasnt and the Texans took Virginia Tech offensive tackle Duane Brown with the 26th pick. There were some very good offensive linemen in this draft. Smith was also glad to see Brown still around, though many observers thought he would go in the second round.
