Houston Texans Select CB Kareem Jackson 20th Overall
By Editorial Staff
Amidst all the trades in the first round of the Draft, the Houston Texans sat tight at 20, and with most people chalking them up for a corner, they got their guy, right?
Well, they got the position, but rather than selecting the popular pick in Kyle Wilson, the Texans took a stretch on Kareem Jackson.
Jackson becomes the second Cornerback taken in the first round by the Texans since Dunta Robinson was taken 10th overall. Robinson is who he will look to replace, and they will need immediate production from Jackson to follow up their first winning season from 2009.
