This is the Houston Texans 2026 Draft Big Board, which ranks the top players at the positions of need for the Texans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Positions of need: offensive line, defensive tackle, linebacker, safety, running back, and tight end<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">This has been a much harder class to rank and predict than last year. On one hand, Houston\u2019s most glaring needs are on the interior offensive and defensive lines. On the other hand, General Manager Nick Caserio has never selected either position with his first pick.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">It is unlikely any of the top 10 players on the Big Board will be available when the Texans select at 28. However, I am including the top players at each position of need as Houston could trade up to select one of them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Several quick notes before you scroll:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Here is the Big Board broken out by position:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of the most-viewed articles from last year\u2019s draft has returned.
