Last Updated: April 26, 2012 Mock Draft: Picks 1-16 - Picks 17-32 - Round 2 - Round 3 - Rounds 4-7
26. Houston Texans
Stanford University
Martin was considered a top-15 prospect for much of the year, but don't let his slide in the first be an indicator of his talent. Martin is an athletic, agile tackle who will fit extremely well in Houston's hybrid offensive scheme. The Texans love to throw a lot of zone blocking schemes at defenses, and Martin has the ability to excel in such a system. He is also an adequate pass blocker, which will be essential in keeping Matt Schaub healthy this year. With Schaub's season-ending injury last season and the re-signing of Arian Foster, Houston will look to shore up its offensive line and add a quality starter who is a steal at pick 26.
Also Considered: Kendall Wright (WR-Baylor), Coby Fleener (TE-Stanford), Andre Branch (LB-Clemson)
