After selecting Notre Dame Safety Kyle Hamilton and Georgia Defensive End Travon Walker with its first two selections in the 2022 SB Nation Community Mock Draft, the Texans keep the train chugging straight towards a new-look defense with the selection of Florida Cornerback Kaiir Elam in the second round.
Head Coach Lovie Smith made waves last week with his press conference comments that Houston’s “play at the cornerback position last year was not good enough.” Two days later, the Texans signed veteran Steven Nelson to a 2-year deal. In this mock draft, the writers at Battle Red Blog give Smith even more ammunition at the CB spot with the selection of Kaiir (pronounced kai-ear) at No.
