Texans' Wildcard Exit Could Mean Lacy at 20 | Houston Texans News

ESPN’s latest mock draft paints a grim picture for the Houston Texans, projecting an early wild-card exit and a 20th overall pick — but it’s all tied to their shaky run game, especially with aging David Montgomery. The solution? A bold leap into the future with Ole Miss phenom Kewan Lacy, an All-American who exploded for 24 touchdowns and 1,200+ yards at 6 yards per carry. Lacy’s versatility as a runner and receiver could be the perfect fit for C.J. Stroud. But don’t count on it — if backups like Woody Marks step up or the offensive line needs fixing first, the Texans might pivot. Their Super Bowl dreams hinge on avoiding that early exit and that dreaded 20th pick — starting with a showdown against the Bills on September 13.
