3.15 Indianapolis Hoosier Daddy's — WR DeVier Posey

In the real world: The Texans took Posey early in Round 3 to improve the depth of their WR corps, and they even released WR Jacoby Jones not long afterwards. But then they also drafted Keshawn Martin out of Michigan State in Round 4. Posey was one of a few Ohio State Buckeyes who were embroiled in a memorabilia sales scandal and considered turning pro a year early due to the impending suspension. Perhaps he should have; he later got slapped with a second five-game suspension from the NCAA for accepting money he did not earn during a summer job, so he ended up missing all but the last three games of the season. Upon his return, he didn't look rusty at all, with 12 receptions, 162 yards and 2 TDs in those three games.
In the TUFF world: Posey gives Indy a little more depth for the WR corps.

4.07 Pittsburgh BIG PAPAS — PK Randy Bullock

In the real world: The Texans drafted him after seeing Neil Rackers head off to D.C. He will compete with Shayne Graham to be the Texans' new placekicker.
In the TUFF world: I guess Pittsburgh was looking for a little insurance in case Josh Brown doesn't beat out Nick Folk. But over the last three years, Brown's been more accurate than Folk. Another thing, too--the Texans' offense is bound to be more effective this year, meaning Bullock could score more points than Pitt's other kicker, Josh Scobee.
