Ah, now I see it. Thanks! Very well-written and insightful article. He definitely has his pulse on the Texans. Let's hope that Arizona goes along with the plan! Thank you so much for sharing!
What are the few names we keep hearing the most with the Texans first round pick? I can't keep up with all these names haha.
For trade ups, I like the following two players in this years draft. For clarification the Texans see Keldric Faulk as a DT. Faulk has the same frame as Arik Armstead and Deforest Buckner and will be asked to gain about ten pounds. On run downs he would play on the Edge and on obvious passing plays he would play inside. Blake Miller Clemson OT Keldric Faulk Auburn DT3 For picks 28 and 38, I would expect heavy interest in the following players. Emmanuel McNeil-Warren Toledo Safety Colton Hood Tennessee CB Chris Johnson San Diego State CB Malachi Lawrence UCF EDGE Akheem Mesidor Miami (FL) EDGE Gabe Jacas Illinois EDGE T.J. Parker Clemson EDGE Kayden McDonald Ohio State DT1 Peter Woods Clemson DT3 C.J. Allen Georgia LB Jacob Rodriguez Texas Tech LB Anthony Hill Jr. Texas LB Chase Bisontis Texas A&M OG Keylan Rutledge Georgia Tech OG Jadarian Price Notre Dame RB
Kayden McDonald. Blake Miller. Christen Miller. I think McDonald will be gone and that we will try to trade down.
I would LOVE to be able to trade down with Arizona like this and then be able to get another high-round pick.
Banks is a HUGE gamble with an enormous payout if it hits. His name "Banks" is very fitting. I'd be willing to use our third-round pick on him. I would think that teams with lots of draft capital will be the most likely to roll the dice on him.
Thinking about Wyatt Teller (who had 30 bench press reps) and the Texans interest and follow to sign him. I asked a question regarding this year's draft prospects that are on the OL and here is the answer: Here are the offensive linemen at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine who recorded 30 or more bench press reps of 225 lbs: Trey Zuhn III (Center – Texas A&M): 33 reps [nfl.com], [nfl.com] Blake Miller (Offensive Tackle – Clemson): 32 reps [nfl.com], [nfl.com] Connor Lew (Center – Auburn): 31 reps [nfl.com], [nfl.com] Total: 3 offensive linemen met or exceeded 30 reps. The Texans have had Top 30 meetings with all of them. hmmm.
