The Houston Texans had a solid draft overall, earning a grade of B. Despite not having a first-round pick, they were able to secure quality players, including a starting nickel corner and a developmental offensive tackle. The team’s first four picks have the potential to make immediate contributions, which is all you can ask for without a first-day pick. While it may not have been as flashy as last year’s draft, which landed them C.J. Stroud and Will Anderson Jr., this draft will help strengthen the team’s foundation.
The Texans’ favorite pick from the draft was Kamari Lassiter, a cornerback from Georgia selected 42nd overall. Lassiter is a physical corner with elite short-area quickness and strong tackling ability. Although his lack of long speed may limit him to the slot in the NFL, he adds depth to the Texans’ talented defensive backfield.
On the other hand, Blake Fisher was not as popular among fans but has significant potential to develop into an excellent player in time. Fisher is an offensive tackle from Notre Dame selected 59th overall and faces an uphill battle early in his career but has talent that could lead him to become an impact player for the team in the future.
The Texans drafted Kamari Lassiter, Blake Fisher, Calen Bullock, Cade Stover, Jamal Hill, Jawhar Jordan, Solomon Byrd, Marcus Harris, and LaDarius Henderson during their recent draft session. Each pick brings depth and talent to the team while also setting them up for success in the years to come
