Texans drafting Kyle Hamilton could trouble the Colts
The Houston Texans have two first-round picks and five total selections in the first three rounds and they need them all because they need a lot of help.
There’s no need to pretend that Houston is just a pick away from taking over the division. The Texans are at the start of a rebuild that will likely take at least a couple of seasons.
However, Houston could select a player that could give the Colts fits for the next decade, whether Houston is good or not. With picks at No. 3 and No. 13 in the first round, the Texans are unlikely to select a quarterback, so that’s not a worry.
However, Houston could select Kyle Hamilton at No. 13 and that’s a player that could do damage against Indianapolis and many other teams in the NFL.
KYLE. HAMILTON. AGAIN. 😤

When the college football season ended, many felt that Kyle Hamilton was the top prospect in this Draft class. If not No. 1, he was a consensus top-three player.
Since that point, his stock has fallen. People have expressed concern with his 4.59 40-yard dash, and others have questioned if a safety is worth being drafted high.
Despite all of the discussion, all it takes is turning on Hamilton’s Notre Dame film to see that he is a baller and has the tools to be a game-changer at the next level.
Hamilton is a 6-foot-4, 220-pound safety that can come downhill to make big hits while also playing with the range to defend the pass all over the field.
With Houston now needing a safety after the departure of Justin Reid, it may take a look at Hamilton at No. 13. If that’s the case, the Colts will have to deal with him disrupting offensive game plans for as long as he’s in the division.
