Texans pick Baylor center Kyle Fuller in seventh round
The Texans' used their seventh-round pick – their last in the three-day draft – on Baylor center Kyle Fuller.
Fuller (6-4, 307 at the combine) anchored Baylor's offensive line and helped the Bears have one of the most prolific running games in the nation as a three-year starter.
Fuller, a native Texan who grew up in Wylie, will be given a chance to play guard, too.
At center, the Texans have Nick Martin, last year's second-round pick who spent his rookie season on injured reserve, and Greg Mancz, who started all 16 games and two in the playoffs.
"He'll compete for backup jobs at center and guard," coach Bill O'Brien said. "There's going to be some good competition between the young players."
