Texans safety Justin Reid was vocal on the practice field during rookie minicamp. Bill O'Brien said he thought the third-round pick had "good size" and good speed." "[He's] a smart guy," O'Brien said. "A guy that's a versatile guy. He can do some different things. He can help us on special teams [and] obviously help us on defense. We just got here, so we'll see how he does in our system."

Justin Reid, the Texans' third-round pick, said he is "proud" of his brother Eric for standing up for what he believes in while protesting during the national anthem. Last week, Eric Reid filed a collusion grievance against the NFL; the free agent safety was one of the first players to join Colin Kaepernick in kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality and racial inequality. “I haven't had a lot of time to digest it yet, because I've been so focused on my own journey, getting prepared for the combine and then for the draft, and now I'm moving onto a big chapter of my life," Reid said. "I haven't had a lot of downtime to really process my feelings on that.”

With the No. 211 pick, the Texans have drafted their second tight end of the draft. Jordan Thomas, who played at Mississippi State, is 6-foot-6 and 265 pounds and calls himself an "all-around tight end."
Sarah Barshop ESPN Staff Writer
With the 177th pick, the Texans select DE/OLB Duke Ejiofor, who is from the Houston area. In his junior season, Ejiofor had 17 tackles for a loss, 10.5 sacks, an interception and two forced fumbles.
Sarah Barshop ESPN Staff Writer
The Texans take WR Keke Coutee in the fourth round, giving quarterback Deshaun Watson another option. Coutee also has the chance to make an impact on kickoffs, which is an area the Texans struggled in last season.
