HOUSTON (AP) -- The Houston Texans have selected Stanford safety Justin Reid with the 68th overall pick in the NFL draft.

Reid was Houston's first pick in this year's draft after they traded away their first-round pick to Cleveland to get quarterback Deshaun Watson with the 12th overall pick last year. They previously sent their second-round pick in this draft to the Browns as part of the deal to get rid of Brock Osweiler.

Reid started 11 of 14 games last season, piling up 99 tackles, including 6 1/2 for losses with five interceptions and six pass breakups.

The Texans had two more picks in the third round after receiving the 80th pick from Seattle in the trade for left tackle Duane Brown and getting the 98th selection as a compensatory pick for A.J. Bouye signing with the Jaguars last year.
