The draft is over… now the real conversation begins. On this Sunday episode of Locked On Texans , we’re breaking down what Houston’s draft board actually tells us — not what the consensus said, but what they believe. What did the Texans think about their 2025 roster flaws? How are they preparing for the inevitable loss of star players? Which positions did they quietly admit were problems? And how...

THE PICK IS IN… and the Houston Texans didn’t play it safe—they got physical. Houston trades UP to land Keylan Rutledge , the big, nasty, tone-setting guard out of Georgia Tech—and if you’ve been paying attention, this is EXACTLY the type of player this team has been missing. Rutledge isn’t flashy… he’s better. He’s violent at the point of attack, finishes blocks, and brings the kind of attitude t...

The Houston Texans selected Georgia Tech offensive lineman Keylan Rutledge 26th overall in the 2026 NFL Draft. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

The Houston Texans are reportedly exploring a move up to pick No. 15 in the NFL Draft… but is it really worth it? 🤔 Rumors are swirling around names like OT Blake Miller and EDGE Keldrick Faulk — but we’re not buying it. In this episode of Locked On Texans , we break down why trading up for a tackle, edge, or even DT just doesn’t make sense when Houston can still land quality talent at No. 28. 💡...

The countdown is REAL… just 1 day until the NFL Draft , and the rumor mill is starting to spin out of control. On today’s episode of Locked On Texans , we’re breaking down the latest buzz surrounding Houston — including reports from Todd McShay that the Texans could trade UP for a tackle to jump the Detroit Lions . Yeah… we’ve got thoughts about that. 👀 Is moving up for a player who might not eve...

The Houston Texans are officially back to work — and that’s a GREAT sign for what’s coming next. Offseason workouts kicked off Monday with strong attendance, including C.J. Stroud showing up and setting the tone early. That energy matters… and it says a lot about where this team is headed. We break down: 🔥 What Stroud’s presence means for the Texans’ offseason momentum 🔥 DeMeco Ryans’ approach t...

Will Anderson just made HISTORY… and honestly, it was only a matter of time. The Houston Texans have locked in their defensive cornerstone with a record-breaking 3-year, $150M extension , making Will Anderson the highest-paid non-QB in the NFL — and he’s earned every dollar. From day one, he’s been box office. We’re talking: 30 sacks in 3 seasons Top-tier pressure numbers year after year Already 3...

Plus… Ear to the Streets is BACK. 👀 What’s been on Texans fans’ minds lately? I’ve been listening — and we’re talking about it ALL. Whether you’ve been ro...

Is Joe Royer the latest late-round tight end prospect the Houston Texans want to add? 🤔 After a recent visit with the Texans, Royer is officially on the radar—but does he make sense for Houston in the 5th round? If Nick Caserio and company stick to a BPA (best player available) approach, tight end could slide… unless they decide to take a swing on a talent like Kenyon Sadiq. With questions still...

Nick Caserio just said it loud and clear — the Houston Texans are going Best Player Available in the NFL Draft… but here’s the REAL question: when are they actually picking? If the phone rings and the value is there, Houston is MOVING. And in Caserio’s world, “value” means staying in range to still land one of their top 10 players on the board. So don’t be surprised if the Texans start playing che...

It’s draft season, and the stakes couldn’t be higher for Houston. Jeremy Chuggs of Chat Sports joins the show to break it all down — and we’re not holding anything back. Nick Caserio says it’s all about going BPA… but what does that really mean with the Texans sitting at pick 28? We dive into the real options that could be on the board — including Omar Cooper Jr. vs. Kayden McDonald — and which di...

Is it really just the system… or is there something deeper behind CJ Stroud’s regression last season? In this episode of Locked On Texans, we break down the night-and-day difference in CJ Stroud that isn’t being talked about enough. Everyone points to the new offensive scheme—but the truth goes beyond X’s and O’s. Stroud didn’t just lose rhythm… he lost vocal presence and tone-setters on offense....

Houston is loading up for the 2026 NFL Draft—but not every Top 30 visit ends in a draft call. So who’s really on the Texans’ radar… and who’s just a smokescreen? Since 2021, Nick Caserio has made one thing clear: Top 30 visits MATTER. Over 10 players from those visits have turned into Houston Texans. The pattern is real—and it’s not slowing down. In this episode of Locked On Texans: The MOST likel...

The Houston Texans just made a BIG move… locking in franchise cornerstones C. J. Stroud and Will Anderson Jr. with their 2027 fifth-year options. But let’s be real… is this a long-term commitment, or just the beginning of contract drama? We break it ALL down on today’s Locked On Texans Podcast ⬇️ 🔥 Is Houston making the SMART call securing Stroud & Anderson early? 🔥 Why Will Anderson might get P...

Confident. Collected. Cougar. In this exclusive 1-on-1 interview , Latrell McCutchin keeps it real about the journey that built him—from falling in love with football as a kid to lighting it up on Friday Night Tykes… and fighting through injury adversity to become a 4-star cornerback . This isn’t just a story about talent—it’s about the confidence in knowing everything will work out when the work...

Should the Houston Texans really make a splash trade for Dexter Lawrence… or is that just noise? I’m keeping it real — it’s NOT worth it. The Texans don’t have a defensive tackle problem. They’ve been ELITE at finding talent, developing it, and getting production without breaking the bank. So why fix something that isn’t broken? But things get interesting in the secondary… 👀 Former Browns startin...

The pressure is building in Houston… and the Texans are officially on the clock. Do you go ALL IN and grab impact stars to push this team over the top? Or play it smart and stack depth to build something sustainable? The 2026 NFL Draft is shaping up to be a defining moment — and we’re breaking it ALL down. On today’s episode of Locked On Texans , we get straight to it: Should Houston be aggressive...

The head man in charge, DeMeco Ryans , just sent a message to the entire league… and especially to C.J. Stroud . At the Annual Coaches Meeting, Ryans made it clear: change is here in Houston. That includes the tough decision to move on from Stroud’s longtime QB coach, Jerrod Johnson . His reasoning? Simple—and bold: 🗣️ “How can we help CJ the best?” Ryans doubled down on something a lot of people...

This ain’t just another position battle… this is the one that could DEFINE the entire Houston Texans offense in 2025. The center spot is officially a WAR ⚔️ On one side — Andrews: high IQ, sharp with protection calls, a guy who can elevate C.J. Stroud pre-snap and keep the offense in rhythm. On the other — Brown: the proven glue guy, battle-tested, reliable, and the one with the stronger résumé. B...
