Now comes the fun part for all the NFL daft sickos.
As the 2026 NFL Draft has drawn to a close, the Houston Texans are far from finished building their 90-man roster. Houston will be looking to bring in a slew of undrafted free agents who didn’t hear their name called during the draft.
Overall, it was a solid draft haul for the Texans. They ended up with just three picks in the first rounds, but two should be game-changers in interior lineman Keylan Rutledge and defensive tackle Kayden McDonald. In Round 2, the Texans surprised folks in the Greater Houston area by selecting Michigan tight end Marlin Klein. On Day 3, they also added some high upside rookies in offensive lineman Febechi Nwaiwu, linebacker Wade Woodaz, defensive back Kamari Ramsey, wide receiver Lewis Bond and linebacker Aiden Fisher.
General manager Nick Caserio plans to bring in some additional talent to compete during training camp. Over the past few years, Houston has seen multiple undrafted free agents make the active roster and compete for playing time with long-tenured starters.
