Texans Grab Run-Blocker, Eye Day Two Stars

0:00It's April 24th. NFL News. Today starts now, AI-powered and game ready. I'm Cory with the story. Day 1 of the 2026 NFL Draft is done, and the Houston Texans finally made a Thursday night selection for the first time since 20. 23. They grabbed Georgia Tech offensive line in Keelan Retledge at pick number 26 to shore up their line for years to come. This guy's the top run blocker in the class gave up just two pressures last season and 0-sacks over 400 pass blocking snaps. Now, all eyes shift to Nikisario's sweet spot on day 2, where the Texans have crushed it since he arrived. Think Nico Collins, Kamari Lasseter, Tank Dell, Jalen Petri, Callan Bullock, and Woody Marks, pure gold from picks 33 to 100. Fans are buzzing because prime targets like defensive tackles, Kate and McDonald, and Kristen Miller, plus linebackers, Anthony Hill, Jacob Rodriguez, and C.J. Allen are still sitting there.

1:01This sets up Casario to swing big again and maybe snag extra value on trades. On day 2, Houston picks at round 3, number 38, round 2, number 59, and round 3, number 91 from the Buffalo Bills. Expect them around 6.37 pm. Central time for the first, 8.30 pm for the second, and 10.11 pm for the last, based on last. Years pace. Draft action picks back up tonight at 6 pm, Central time, and wraps Saturday at 11 a.m. Eastern, so stay locked in for more Texans moves.
