The Texans have picked TE Dorin Dickerson out of Pittsburgh with the 227th overall pick (7th round) of the NFL Draft.  The Texans will likely move Dickerson to WR.  He is 6’1″, 222 pounds and he runs a 4.6 40.  He is a good open field runner with a good set of hands.  He needs to work more on his run blocking but that will be less of a issue at WR.  Dickerson played in 13 games (9 starts) for Pitt last season in which he caught 49 passes for 529 yards (10.8 avg) with 10 TD grabs.  He played in 46 games (11 starts) in his four years at Pitt and he caught 63 passes for 708 yards (11.2 avg) with 13 TD grabs.  The Texans got excellent value with this pick as Dickerson has a very nice upside.
