As the Houston Texans prepare for the NFL draft, analysts predict they will focus on strengthening their defensive line, particularly with the selection of Caleb Banks, a defensive tackle from the University of Florida, at pick No. 28. With the Texans' current defensive tackle, Sheldon Rankins, aging and Tommy Togiai entering a contract year, the team is looking to secure a long-term solution in this position. Banks is noted for his athleticism and strength, although injury concerns have limited his performance in recent years, including a foot injury during the NFL combine. If his health issues cause him to drop in the draft, he could become a valuable pick on Day 2. In addition to Banks, the Texans have other strategic picks lined up, including Akheem Mesidor from the University of Miami and Keylan Rutledge from Georgia Tech in the second round. The Texans are also considering offensive linemen like Rutledge and Jager Burton from the University of Kentucky, as they aim to enhance their offensive line significantly this draft cycle.
