Still a free agent after 2028, #Texans decide to give Nico a pay raise instead of a longer deal....

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

Nico Collins remains under contract to the Texans for the next two seasons and is scheduled to become a free agent in 2028.

[TXN @TXNFootball]

#Texans going against the QB gauntlet, but getting to playing against Allen, Burrow, Dak, and Lamar at home is about the best scenario you ask for

[Houston Texans @HoustonTexans]

Our 25th Season schedule is set

🤘 | @Ticketmaster

[TXN @TXNFootball]

There was a clear TE run at the end of the 2nd:
Eli Stowers (54), Nate Boerkircher (56), Marlin Klein (59), Max Klare (61)

2 TE went early in the 3rd:
Sam Roush (69), Oscar Delp (73)

#Texans tried trading back & knew they probably weren't getting their TE without a 3rd rounder

[Jon Ledyard @LedyardNFLDraft]

I’m talking to people around the league after day 2 of the draft, it’s clear Boerkircher was much higher for teams than on consensus board

He was going to be drafted in the next 15-20 picks based on what I’ve heard.

Still an overdraft! But just giving more context.

[TXN @TXNFootball]

Probably not the worst idea if #Texans use their upcoming 7th on a punter

[TXN @TXNFootball]

Daniel Jeremiah wasn't wrong about the Marlin Klein going as high as the 2nd round.

#Texans drafting Klein will be controversial with Emmanuel McNeil-Warren going at 58 and Anthony Hill Jr. at 60.

[Carlos A. Lopez @LosTalksPats]

.@MoveTheSticks believes Michigan TE Marlin Klein, his fifth-ranked tight end in the class, could go as high as the end of the second round.

If the #Patriots want Hunter Henry’s eventual successor, they will likely need to make a move early on.

[Cody Johnson @FB_LoneStar]

Another “My guy” great run defender that will see the field immediately can penetrate and hold the point of attack. Needs some development as a pass rusher, but good selection. First size outlier in DeMeco era as well. #HTownMade

[TXN @TXNFootball]

Last year must have really struck a nerve for Caserio not being able to trade up in the first lol

Keylan Rutledge and Kayden McDonald are two solid picks for the #Texans.

[TXN @TXNFootball]

Rich Hill draft chart: #Texans essentially give up a late 5th to move up and take DT Kayden McDonald.

Texans leapfrog the Giants, who traded DT Dexter Lawrence to the Bengals

[Underdog NFL @UnderdogNFL]

Trade summary:

Texans get - No. 36, No. 117
Raiders get - No. 38, No. 91

[TXN @TXNFootball]

#Texans GM Nick Caserio 2nd round history:
Secondary (2):
Pitre
Lassiter

OL:
Scruggs
Fisher
Ersery

WR:
Metchie
Higgins

[TXN @TXNFootball]

Fowler was spot on Rutledge, can already imagine who the #Texans are targeting at 38 and may have to trade up if they want Kayden McDonald.

[Jacob @JacobBarzilla]

Two players the #Texans like if they stay up at 28 via @JFowlerESPN:

Georgia Tech OG Keylan Rutledge
Ohio State DT Kayden McDonald

Houston has done “a lot” of homework on their offensive line and are a trade back candidate at 28.

[TXN @TXNFootball]

@BddyFshN Draft value charts have been around for decades lol. This is a pretty old school concept...

[TXN @TXNFootball]

Using the Rich Hill draft chart, #Texans gave up the equivalent of a 4th rounder to move from 28 to 26.

Don't love it but it is what it is. Rutledge had been mocked to the Texans all draft process.

[Houston Texans @HoustonTexans]

🚨 Trade 🚨

Texans ➡️ Bills
🔴 Pick 28, 69, 167

We receive:
🔴 Pick 26, 91

[JaysonBraddock @JaysonBraddock]

Liipfert who went to Georgia Tech made a comment at the pre-draft presser that made me think about Keylan Rutledge, who played at Georgia Tech (below)

[TXN @TXNFootball]

#Texans streak of Senior Bowl players continues

[Underdog NFL @UnderdogNFL]

Texans select OG Keylan Rutledge with the No. 26 overall pick.

[TXN @TXNFootball]

@Texans_Thoughts Not saying he's the same player but Trent Brown could help his case. As a vet and a player the Texans are comfortable with despite him being a bigger OT

[TXN @TXNFootball]

@Overhaul89 An argument can be made TE is just as important.

There's not much at TE outside of Schultz and Sadiq would be on a cheap deal even when Schultz's deal expires.

Don't think it hurts that Caley is a former TE Coach.

[TXN @TXNFootball]

Kenyon Sadiq to the #Texans confirmed /s

[Pat McAfee @PatMcAfeeShow]

"Before the draft I'm starting to hear that a couple of teams are really actively trying to trade up..

I heard that the Texans and Broncos were..

The Bears take Colston Loveland at 10 and then a bunch of calls stop" ~ @RapSheet #PMSLive

[TXN @TXNFootball]

It doesn't hurt that Bucs GM Jason Licht worked with #Texans GM Nick Caserio in New England, so there's an option at 15.

It's possible that 1 of Kadyn Proctor, Kenyon Sadiq, or Olaivavega Ioane could be available in that range. Wouldn't be mad at that.

[Underdog NFL @UnderdogNFL]

Pelissero: Texans calling teams in the middle of Round 1 for a potential trade up.

[TXN @TXNFootball]

@OskarLR22 Ideally yes, but the 2027 class is rumored to be better than this year's draft.

Having a late 2027 1st will likely be more valuable than a late 2026 1st. The 3rd would just be a sweetener. If they get more than that, that would be amazing

[TXN @TXNFootball]

With #Texans picking at 28 and at the top of Round 2 (38), what's stopping the Rams from trading their 2027 1st and 2026 3rd (93rd)?

Rams should believe they're going far in 2027 so their rationale is it'll be a pick in the similar range, 93 is just the cost of doing business

[Josh Norris @JoshNorris]

will Ty Simpson be drafted in Round 1?

"No... maybe we see a trade... I think the Rams were a big reason why he came out. Thinking the Rams would be a spot"

well, there's a certain head coach in Arizona who was just on that rams staff!
