Rakestraw Jr. is a first-round talent that could slide to Houstons first selection due to past injuries and a lack of ball production. Fiske has been one of the darlings during the run-up to the draft and has a motor that teams will covet. Cooper is the top at the linebacker position and, like Rakestraw Jr., should be considered a first-round talent. Theres a falloff in talent after Cooper at the linebacker position. Any of those three selections James Bourque Jersey would be home run picks for HoustonPowers-Johnson also displays first-round talent but the center position isnt close to the same need as corner, defensive tackle and linebacker for the Texans. La siter has been mocked from anywhere around the early second round to as late as a Day 3 pick. La siter is far from the value presented by the other quartet of prospects listed on the list above him.The first three players projected are all more than reasonable. Rakestraw Jr. and Cooper provide the most value and need with their selections, followed by Fiske.Texans 2024 NFL Draft prospect targets:|| |||||Second Round, Pick No. 59DLKris Jenkins, MichiganCB Mike Sainristil, MichiganOG Cooper Beebe, Kansas StateOG Christian Haynes, UConnDT Michael Hall Jr.,Ohio StateThe two guys that stick out on this list are Sainristil and Hall Jr. These two would be Blank Jersey great selections with the Texans second pick in the second round depending on how the team uses it's first pick.Hall Jr. may go earlier than No. 59 but if he did last until their second selection, it would make the move to pa s on Fiske at No. 42 to go with Rakestraw Jr. or Cooper all the better. Sainristil may be off the board by the Texans second selection as well as hes been projected to go anywhere from a top-40 pick to the middle of the third-round. Sainristil at pick No. 59 would go great with a Fiske or Cooper pick at No. 42 for the Texans.Jenkins isnt a great fit for the Texans as hes more of a two-gap type of defensive player that should go to a 3-4 defense to play at defensive end. He would be a defensive tackle in a four-man front but is more stout against the run where the Texans Brian Dozier Jersey are looking for one-gap penetrators. Beebe and Haynes are guards and dont provide the value or need that the Texans are looking for with their second pick. If Houston goes to the offensive line early, it should be at the tackle position.Third Round Pick No. 86CBAndre Phillips, KentuckyDT Brandon Dorlus, OregonOL Mason McCormick, South Dakota StateRB Trey Benson, Florida StateOL Zak Zinter, MichiganIt was interesting to see that the predictor had one name far ahead of anyone else: Kentucky cornerback Andru Phillips. If the Texans pa s on Rakestraw Jr. at No. 42 and Sainristil at No. 59, Phillips would be one of a few names that Houston would consider at the cornerback position in Round 3. Next closest to Phillips was defensive lineman Brandon Dorlus. Dorlus would be similar to a younger version of Denico Autry in Houston, if the Texans pa Austin Voth Jersey sed on Fiske and Hall Jr. Dorlus would play some at defensive tackle while also being able to play on the edge as well.
