Houston Texans use the 116th draft pick to select Woody Marks in the 4th round, adding a pass catching running back as the 3rd skill position player they drafted this year
Woody Marks adds a complimentary skillset to the Houston, as an undersized back at 5’10” and 207 lbs, that did not impress with his speed or burst at the combine, Marks can primarily contribute to the passing game out of the backfield. Marks is one of the oldest prospects in this draft at 24 years old, but he should use that experience to try making an immediate impact.
Marks has a chance to compete with Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce in a year that should see a strong resurgence for CJ Stroud and the overall offense. Houston already selected both Iowa State receivers this year, Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel, to add to Nico Collins. While the offense should be much improved, touch competition and his age at draft are signs of concern for Mark’s Dynasty outlook. He should push Damien Pierce aside through the year, but there is no Guarantee that Mixon will be off the team any time soon.
