If the Texans are left with enough money to sign one big money free agent, and they have a need at both WR2 and CB2, generally I'd prefer to get the veteran at CB and leave WR to the draft. Short-term, that would probably provide the better results.

Of these guys, the priority skill I'd want in a receiver is someone to stretch the field. Andre Johnson is turning into more of an underneath receiver as he gets older. Since most guys slow down as they age, I think anyone 29 and over is off my wish list.
Wallace is the most appealing, but I imagine there is no chance he really becomes available. I'm skeptical that DeSean is either available or affordable, but he would be attractive. I think the most realistic option listed is Steve Jackson. Buffalo is cheap, and Stevie loves the deep ball. Sign him up.
