In this kind of draft, it’s difficult to justify taking a wide receiver too soon. But Beckham surely qualifies as an exception. If you forget the past two seasons and just focus on what he did during his first three seasons in the league, it’s a no-brainer for the Texans to take him at this spot.

For starters, Beckham can electrify any crowd, which does count for something. He can also make plays that no almost no other receiver can make while making just about any quarterback look good. He’s also 26, which is younger than most of the elite receivers in the league, giving him more good years ahead of him than some other options.
