Jaylin Smith joined the crew as a late Day 2 pick. Safety Kamari Ramsey to many was considered one of the draft's top Day 2 safeties, so consider it a steal in the fifth-round for Houston. At pick No.

A UCLA transfer, Ramsey joined the Trojans in 2024, where he broke out with 60 tackles, 5. 5 tackles for loss, six pass breakups, two forced fumbles and an interception. Last season, his season was cut short due to a knee injury suffered against Iowa on Nov.
15. He finished the year with 27 total tackles and two pass deflections. Some scouts have compared the rangy defender to longtime Tennessee Titans All-Pro Kevin Byrard, though his tackling is more refined.
