2026 NFL Draft

He and Endries are the 2 best downfield blockers I've seen. Haven't seen anyone I love as a next to the OT blocking TE who can also catch, not like last year.

Carter, from Tech, is a really interesting guy as a receiver. Trigg from Baylor is another incredible athlete.

 

Played around with a mock draft while watching the 49ers game. Traded down several times.

Some of these players like Hunter, Branch, and Wright I noticed and liked in the college football playoffs.

 

Want a blocking TE?

Go checkout Cody Hardy TE North Carolina State.

 

Maybe we could trade for a TE. I wonder who would be reasonable targets?

So here it stands, Texans have:

1st (somewhere in the late round)
2nd: 38 from Wash (6th pick of the round)
2nd: 58 (our own)
3rd: 69 from NYG (5th pick)
4th: 106 from Wash (6th pick)
4th: 126 (our own)
5th: 165 (our own)
7th: 242 from SF
7th: 243 (our own)

 

He's been a massive disappointment but it's the Raiders, so who knows?

 

After watching our backups against the Colts I think we may need to find a quality backup DB late in the draft, if possible.

 

Texans have 9th most 2026 draft capital

19. Olaivavega Ioane OG Penn State - I traded up to get him. This mock had the Texans with the 23rd pick. We moved up 3 spots after the win?
38. A'Mauri Washington DT Oregon
54. Jake Golday LB Cincinnati - My target of Connor Lew was gone
83. Oscar Delp TE Georgia
124. Jake Slaughter OC Florida
163. Treydan Stukes

Edit: I see now that it is wrong. We have the 27th pick

I'm hoping they trade out of the 1st and pickup even more draft capital.

 

Please no.

 

For 2027 draft capital? We dont have a ton of open spots on the roster for lots of rookies, so maybe use the draft capital we have to move up.

 

We need to focus on OL...I trust DeMeco can find gems at DL in later rounds.

 

I disagree with this.

You don't think they've got room on the roster for a couple of ol, a RB, DT, LB, S, CB and a TE?

I could go through and tell you who I would cut, but trust me there's room for these positions.

 

OL, DT, RB should be priority positions and I can make a case for CB, S, TE too

 

We need depth in the secondary and OL. I don’t want to ever see Tremon Smith or Bryant on the field next year. Wallace too, or at least after that last game.

OL need a center and a guard or 2. Ersery and Howard bookend.

 

And if BDN sees a DB. Get him.

 

I’m all for this unless they can get an immediate 10 year starter for the OL. I’m not guru enough to say who that will be, but if we are going to get rookies to start on our offensive line it needs to be a can’t miss guy. I would trade up to get a real anchor for the offensive line if there is one available. I’d love to have a rb like love, but I don’t think Caserio would ever draft a rb in the first round and I understand his reasoning, but if Demeco wants to run a ball control offense, it is difficult to do without a bell cow.
