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 aggressive were they in adding real depth? We get into all of it — and why Houston continues to trust its own evaluations over outside noise. Then there’s the name everyone’s talking about: Marlin Klein. For the first time since 2003, the Texans take a tight end in Round 2. That alone tells you something. Klein isn’t just a blocking piece — this is a long-term investment in upside. At 6’6”, 250 pounds with a 4.6 40, the German-born prospect is the definition of raw talent. Strong hands, clean release off the line, and the ability to fight through contact show up on tape — even if the full package isn’t there yet. Was it a reach? Maybe. Could it pay off in a big way within two seasons? Absolutely. We also talk about why Houston may have fallen in love with his tape — especially when you look at Michigan’s success running behind him. And just when you think they’re done… Houston adds even more muscle. Kayden McDonald steps in as a physical run-stopper with a quick first step and violent hands. The traits? They might remind you of a certain dominant presence in the middle. The rich get richer. If you want real insight into how this front office thinks — this episode is for you.","meta_description":"The draft is over… now the real conversation begins.
