3rd round (90th overall), OLB Jonathan Greenard, Florida
Greenard was a player that was on the Texans’ radar as far back as the NFL Scouting Combine. The 6-3, 263-pound edge rusher will at least provide insurance if Duke Ejiofor can’t recover from his Achilles injury. At the most, the Texans have an immediate contributor who can be a part of improving the pass rush. Greenard says that he is comfortable playing with his hand in the dirt or upright, though first-year defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver will probably have him play opposite of Whitney Mercilus, who is of comparable build.
