Britain Covey went undrafted and is a prototypical shifty slot receiver and return man standout from Utah. 3× First-team all American.

His highlight reel does nothing but show home run play potential.

If the Eagles cut him we should be very proactive about scooping this guy up considering that we have no real clear WR 3.

Between Brandin Cooks taking up a lot of the defenses attention and Nico Collins being a big body target, a small shifty and explosive player would really round out the receivers room and pose a more complex challenge for the opposing defense to figure out. It’ll compliment the two TE sets we’ll run to add another wrinkle to the offense. Worst case scenario we have someone who can return kicks.

Only 50% homo. (I believe I can make this joke, please chill)

As the title suggests, are there any late round draft picks that you guys are hoping that the Texans snag? In procrastinating for studying for a job interview, I have been looking at all the draft prospects the Texans can pickup and always find the potential late round contributors more interesting than endlessly discussing who we are getting with our our top two picks.

For me it is Armani Rogers (Ohio, QB -> TE [athlete], 6’5″ 225lbs). Apart from being able to make an immediate impact on special teams and securing a spot there due to his size, speed (4.5ish 40), hands, and overall athleticism, Armani shows tremendous upside as a potential TE/WR and gadget player having shown, in limited reps receiving the ball, a natural feel for the position (as is discussed in Brett Kollman’s TE video linked above). Additionally, he can be lined up as a TE/WR and be used in trick plays due to his QB background. Blue Chip Scouting also has a good breakdown on Armani’s rout running. Emmet Jackson does a great job highlighting Armani’s potential as a route runner – especially considering has never played the position in game. Additionally, if by some disaster we get down into the QB3-4 situation due to injury, etc., he can function as a serviceable emergency backup without having to take up an additional roster spot as only as QB.

Again, this is a project player that can be taken in the late rounds who has breakout superstar potential – which is what I would be looking for in the late rounds.
