The Houston Texans entered the 2024 NFL Draft without a first-round pick, but that didn’t stop them from finding legitimate contributors early.
Round 2, Pick 42 – CB Kamari Lassiter (Georgia)
Houston’s top selection quickly proved worthy of the slot. With five interceptions already, Lassiter plays with competitive toughness and a pure coverage ability as good as any young corner in football when he's at his best. Even when he gives up modest yardage, he rarely loses positioning and consistently contests throws.
His emergence opposite Derek Stingley Jr. has solidified the Texans’ secondary, although Stingley has had a rough start to 2025.
