The Houston Texans defense can use playmakers at every level, but secondary may be where they find the best value in the 2022 NFL draft.
According to Luke Easterling from the Draft Wire, who released his latest mock ahead of the NFL Scouting Combine, the Texans choose to bolster the secondary by taking Notre Dame safety Kyle Hamilton with the No. 3 overall pick.
The Lovie Smith era starts with a defensive stud here, though passing on Kayvon Thibodeaux might raise some eyebrows. Yes, pass rushers tend to be valued more highly than safeties, but Hamilton is simply the better overall prospect, and has the skill set to impact the game in just as many ways.
