The Houston Texans, as of this writing, has already taken a nickel corner in Georgia CB Kamari Lassiter, and have two more picks scheduled tonight. Who else will be taken? Well there’s only one way to find that out, isn’t there?

The Houston Texans are adding to their secondary with the No. 42 overall pick.

The Houston Texans are adding to their secondary to start the 2024 NFL Draft.

With the No. 42 overall pick, the Texans selected Georgia cornerback Kamari Lassiter.

Lassiter stands 6-0 and weighs 180 pounds, and he played at Georgia during their two National Championship seasons.

Adding Lassiter gives the Texans some more depth in the secondary behind Derek Stingley Jr., who is entering his third NFL season. Given the fact that the Texans finished 29th in completion percentage in 2023, this pick certainly addresses a need....

The Houston Texans are set to have three picks in Friday’s NFL Draft session.

The second day of the 2024 NFL Draft is upon us, and the Houston Texans are expected to begin picking their draft class tonight.

The Texans have the Nos. 42, 59 and 86 picks tonight, but general manager Nick Caserio could move the team around.

The Houston Texans didn’t trade back into the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Was that the right decision?

The 2024 NFL Draft started last night, but the Houston Texans did not welcome any new players to the squad.

The Texans traded out of the first round earlier this month with the Minnesota Vikings, so the team has two second-round picks instead.

There were whispers and rumors surrounding the Texans possibly trading back into the first round from The Athletic’s Dianna Russini, but a trade never materialized.

However, fans aren’t too perturbed about not trading back into the first...

The Houston Texans need a number of positions in this weekend’s NFL Draft, but which need is the biggest?

The 2024 NFL Draft kicks off tonight, and while the Houston Texans aren’t expected to make a pick until tomorrow, they are eagerly looking at tonight’s results in order to better prepare for the later rounds.

Last year, the Texans drafted C.J. Stroud with the No. 2 overall pick, and he appears to have the chance to become the franchise quarterback for many years to come. The team doesn’t have a solidified answer for a backup quarterback, but only 32 percent...

While Houston Texans fans won’t have much to watch during Thursday’s first round coverage, there is still the distinct possibility that Nick Caserio moves up into the first round if there’s a player available that the team really wants. And as we saw last year, Nick Caserio is...

The First Lady of H-Town Football

It wasn’t that long ago when the Houston Texans organization was viewed as an apparent clown college of mismanagement and how-to live-look-ins of franchise incompetence.

Good ole Jack Easterby had owner Cal McNair’s ear and was Grima Wormtongue’ing his way to million$ at the expense of the good people of Houston.

Meanwhile, Cal, the Cy-Fair Athletic Ring of Honor inductee, found himself labeled as the professional sports version of Tommy Boy.

Things were not looking good.

Somewhere along the way, whether at the urging of the McNair’s PR firm, or just plain common sense,...
