Tre Harris could be the right fit for the Houston Texans in the draft.
While the Houston Texans have made moves to shore the wide receiver room this offseason, a game-changer could still be added to lineup before the start of training camp. Nico Collins and Christian Kirk should be starters at the X and slot spot, but it would be wise to bring in a draftable Z target in place of the injured Tank Dell.
Bleacher Report’s Gary Davenport recently posted his best wide receiver-team matchups. For the Texans, he believes Ole Miss pass-catcher Tre Harris is the ideal option on the outside to serve as a complement next to Collins and Kirk.
“Tre Harris was highly productive at Ole Miss a year ago—the 6’2”, 205-pounder eclipsed 1,000 yards and averaged over 17 yards per catch despite playing in just eight games,” Davenport wrote. “Harris’ long speed isn’t great, and he’s not the sort of receiver who will carry a passing game. But as a No. 2 receiver, Harris has considerable potential… The Houston Texans added Christian Kirk to the wide receiver room, but with Tank Dell set to potentially miss most (if not all) of the 2025 season, C.J. Stroud needs a boundary wide receiver opposite Nico Collins. It’s a void that Harris could fill quite nicely.”
Stefon Diggs’ departure to New England opens for Houston to continue to address its receiver woes early in the draft if ther right name in the running. Dell’s injury makes the move a priority for Houston at some point within its first four picks.
Harris, who helped Jaxson Dart become a potential first-round pick, could be the one to patch the hole. After posting nearly back-to-back 1,000-yard campaigns, the 6-foot Rebels star has proven his consistency as a legit top target in any offense. He possesses the tools to be a strong and physical weapon on the boundary with upside after the catch.
The Texans should have the chance to target Harris with their second-round selection at pick 58. If they move back, Harris could be in play with the team’s first pick or perhaps later in the third round.
