With the NFL Scouting Combine kicking off in Indianapolis this week, we surveyed mock drafts around the web to see who the favorite is to be selected by the Texans with the 27th overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft.
Of the 17 mock drafts in our survey, 10 had the Texans picking a wide receiver in the first round. The next-most popular pick was inside linebacker. Here are the results:
Pick breakdown (17 mocks): WR: 10 (58.8%); ILB: 4 (23.5%); S: 2 (11.7%); TE: 1 (5.9%)
Most popular picks: LSU ILB Kevin Minter (4, 23.5%); Baylor WR Terrance Williams (3, 17.6%); West Virginia WR Tavon Austin, LSU FS Eric Reid and USC WR Robert Woods (2, 11.7%)
