2027 way-too-early NFL mock draft round-up: WR, OT or RB in Round 1?

Welcome to Houston , friends. The Texans landed eight new players on their roster during the 2026 NFL Draft. While there were some niche pieces to better the passing game, general manager Nick Caserio made sure to let everyone know that there was going to be an emphasis on finding physicality and brute strength, especially in the front seven and on the offensive line.

That included some impact players in offensive lineman Keylan Rutledge , defensive tackle Kayden McDonald , tight end Marlin Klein, offensive lineman Febechi Nwaiwu , and linebacker Aiden Fisher. The Texans also added in special teams depth with wide receiver Lewis Bond, defensive back Kamari Ramsey and linebacker Wade Woodaz. So the Texans have added a bunch of new pieces for 2026 and plan on competing for a Super Bowl berth this fall.

Does it happen? When looking ahead to 2027 way-too-early mock drafts, no one has Houston picking at No. 32, so the roster still isn't built to make a run toward a Lombardi Trophy.

That means it's time to already look ahead to next season since this year will be a dud. Who could be the next big name to come to Houston and finally get the franchise over the divisional round losing hump? Texans Wire has rounded up the newest way-too-early 2027 NFL mock drafts, where experts believe the Texans will actually target a skill player for the foreseeable future to upgrade Nick Caley's offense.
