Texans Snag Ramsey for Elite Defense

0:00On April 25, Houston, Texan stayed aggressive on day 3 of the 2026 NFL draft, snagging their third pick in the top 100. 50 with USC defensive bat Kamari Ramsey at number 141. This marched their second defensive grab today, pairing him with linebacker Wade Woodaz from round 4. Ramsey stands six feet tall, 200 pounds, and started the last two seasons for the Trojans. In nine games last year, he racked up 27 tackles, one and a half for loss, two passes defended, though a knee injury sideline him for. Three, he's versatile, sliding between nickel and safety spots, bringing that physical edge against the run and in man coverage. Fans and analysts see this as a smart fix for Houston's secondary depth, which crumbled last season with constant shuffling as strong safety. Ramsey slots in rotationally behind new vet Reed Blankenship, adds back up for Jalen Petre at nickel, and could team up for some nasty sub packages.

1:00Scouts give him a B-plus grade, praising his speed and fit in the Texan's hard-hitting scheme, even if he needs work on discipline. Sure, South Carolina's Jalen Kilgore was another option, who stock dipped, but Ramsey rounds out the back end nicely as their top day three steal, so far. With this move, Houston's bolstering and already elite defense, locking down that safety spot for good and setting up a relentless unit come next fall.
