from Locked On Texans - Daily Podcast On The Houston Texans · host Locked On Podcast Network

THE PICK IS IN… and the Houston Texans didn’t play it safe—they got physical. Houston trades UP to land Keylan Rutledge, the big, nasty, tone-setting guard out of Georgia Tech—and if you’ve been paying attention, this is EXACTLY the type of player this team has been missing. Rutledge isn’t flashy… he’s better. He’s violent at the point of attack, finishes blocks, and brings the kind of attitude that changes an offensive line overnight. From dominating at the Senior Bowl to fitting GM Nick Caserio’s blueprint, this pick screams identity shift for Houston. We break it all down: Why Keylan Rutledge was a must-get for the Texans How his physicality upgrades the entire offensive line Why “sexy picks” haven’t worked—and why THIS does What’s next: linebacker, DT, or an offensive playmaker? And hold on… teams are calling about Nico Collins?! Yeah, we need to talk about that. If you want a tougher, more respected Texans team… this is where it starts.
