Bond. Lewis Bond.
After adding two offensive picks earlier on Day, the Houston Texans secured a playmaker on the outside with the Boston College threat in the sixth round with pick No. 204.
For the Texans, the selection marked the first receiver taken by Nick Caserio in the cycle. Houston had been expected to target a playmaker, but the franchise elected to wait until Day 3. Enter Bond, a three-year starter with the Eagles who was known for being a premier route-runner and key slot weapon under former Texans coach Bill O'Brien.
Last season, Bond caught a career-high 88 passes and 993 receiving yards and a touchdown, breaking Boston College's single-season program record in receptions. For his career, the 5-foot-10, 190-pounder hauled in 213 receptions, ranking top three all-time in school history.
In terms of an immediate role, Bond likely enters the room as nothing more than a late-round option looking to stand out. The Texans already have five receivers on the staff, including Pro Bowler Nico Collins and fourth-year pro Tank Dell.
Any changes in Dell's projected status heading into the offseason workouts might factor into how Bond gets utilized in the offense.
