With the 28th Pick in the 2026 NFL Draft the Houston Texans Select...
Plus my draft crushes for this year's draft
Congratulations are in order. We made it to the marquee event of the offseason. The 2026 NFL Draft is here. The Houston Texans are currently slated to make eight selections in this year’s draft. That number and where they pick will change. General manager Nick Caserio loves a trade.
Who will the Texans select with the 28th overall pick?
The shopping list is varied, with nothing sticking out as a need compared to previous years. Combining the expected availability of prospects and what the Texans could use, the trenches seem like a safe bet.
Defensive end should be the priority, but defensive tackle is a worthwhile investment. There should be a draftable defensive tackle that can affect the rotation right away, all the way through the middle point of the draft. Of course, there are reps at defensive end as well with the rotation DeMeco Ryans uses on his defense.
The offensive line doesn’t rotate, and so there aren’t reps available. The rookie would be a backup with a chance to play when there are injuries. Tackle availability might make it the move, but a guard isn’t out of the question. Those wanting a center need to wait for day two.
So, who will it be? Here’s my guess.
