26. Houston Texans Take Duane Brown, Tackle, Virginia Tech in NFL Draft

Filed under: Texans, NFL Draft, HoustonI know what you're thinking: Who's Duane Brown? He's a left tackle from Virginia Tech whom very, very few people thought would be a first-round draft pick. I don't recall seeing a single mock draft that had Brown in the first round. A lot of people didn't even think he'd be a second-round draft pick.And yet I don't necessarily think this is a bad pick. The Texans have needed a good left tackle for as long as their franchise has been in existence, and if offensive line coach Alex Gibbs thinks Brown is the guy to get the job done, this pick can be justified.
