The Texans have picked inside linebacker Darryl Sharpton out of Miami (Fla) with the 102nd overall pick (4th round) of the NFL Draft.  Sharpton is a tad small at 5’11″, 229 pounds but he’s fast as he can run a 4.7 40.  Sharpton is strong for his size and he can handle the middle as long as he has good protection from the D-Line.  Sharpton played in 13 games (12 starts) for the Hurricanes last season and he had 106 tackles, 8.5 tackles for a loss, he broke up 3 passes and he had 1 interception.  He played in 49 games (31 starts) in his four years in college in which he finished up with 262 tackles, 24.5 tackles for a loss, he had 2.5 sacks, broke up 10 passes and he had 1 interception.  Sharpton projects to be a backup linebacker and a core special teams player early in his career and maybe more than that down the line.
