Texans address need in secondary despite not having a first-round pick in this year’s NFL draft

Associated Press  

HOUSTON — The Houston Texans addressed some needs in the NFL draft despite not having a first-round pick this year. “Lassiter has position flexed — he’s played in the perimeter, played inside the formation,” Caserio said. He’s tough, he’s physical.” Lassiter started 29 games combined in his last two seasons at Georgia where he broke up eight passes and had 3½ tackles for losses last season. “I think we’ve always been a big believer you can’t have enough tackles on your football team,” Caserio said. “This is probably one of our favorite football players in the entire draft.” STAYING IN SCHOOL The Texans added to their defense in the sixth round with Oregon safety turned linebacker Jamal Hill.
