11. Houston Texans: Prince Amukamara, CB, Nebraska

With the heartbreaking realization of North Carolina defensive end Robert Quinn off the board, I knew where I was going to go with this pick. But then Washington took him ahead of me. But it is hard to not be pleased with the idea of adding a potential lockdown corner to one of the worst defenses in NFL history from last year.
 
Despite not picking off a pass in 2010 for the Huskers, Amukamara's lockdown ability is undeniable. He was targeted 53 times and only 18 passes were completed against him, a stat which helped him earn Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year honors.
 
Aside from Patrick Peterson, Prince is considered the top prospect at his position headed into April. And even after the disaster that was Kareem Jackson for Houston last year, Prince is too hard to pass up here.

Here's the scouting report on Amukamara and following is the analysis of this pick, both courtesy of Eric Galko of Optimum Scouting: 

The Texans have been trying to find consistent starters for years now in the secondary, and the addition of Kareem Jackson last year doesn't seem like enough to make the position one of strength. Despite rumors of him falling on draft boards, people I've talked to have said that he's a solid Top 10 pick and could be a number one, shut down cornerback in the right system. Addressing the pass rush for the new Wade Phillips defense is an option as well, so guys like JJ Watt, Robert Quinn, and Cameron Jordan are all solid options as well. But if Prince Amukamara is here at #11, it will be tough for the pass defense-less Texans to let him slide any further.
