Last week, I wrote about the top “my guys” for the Houston Texans in the 2026 NFL Draft. Today, we are flipping the script and focusing on players who I am less excited about than other media outlets or analysts. Specifically, these are players I do not see fitting in Houston schematically, culturally, or technically.
My focus will be on Day Two players; many first-round talent will either be not on the board when Houston selects or are consensus favorites. Many of the players below are in positions of need for the Texans, which has been the emphasis of my pre-draft process.
For the most part, these are players that I would rather other teams roll the dice on rather than Houston. Let them go after their potential instead.
