The Texans have a guy like that. His name is Brevin Jordan. Unfortunately, Brevin's been injured the last two years.
Here's his story, pretty good read... https://open.substack.com/pub/thelo...m_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web I like how much he loves to block and how versatile he is. Can play slot, outside, RB and ST.
I'm not necessarily opposed to picking Oregon guard Emmanual Pregnon at 28. Here is Draft Buzz's summary of him. Scouting Report: Summary Pregnon's tape screams day-one contributor with the blend of power, hand technique, and consistent performance that franchises covet when constructing their interior offensive line for championship runs. Teams running gap or inside zone schemes will love his ability to generate movement and create running lanes, while his pass protection reliability provides the foundation to step into a starting role without needing the developmental patience most rookies require before seeing significant snaps. The adjustment to NFL speed and the power-finesse combination that league defensive tackles bring every down will test him early, but his anchor handles pure power beautifully and his hand usage provides legitimate counters when defenders try to speed rush his edges. The best interior rushers in the world marry strength with suddenness that can exploit his hip stiffness on redirection moves, which will be the primary area requiring immediate refinement at the next level. His intelligence picking up games and stunts should translate once he adjusts to the heightened pace, though his lack of positional flexibility limits his versatility compared to guards who can swing to multiple spots. Still, pure guards who can anchor and move people carry premium value when they've proven it against top-shelf competition over nearly 3,000 career snaps like Pregnon has, and that experience matters when evaluating pro readiness. This is a mauler who brings toughness, reliability, and legitimate starting ability at guard from the opening kickoff. His journey from unranked recruit to consensus All-American reflects both rare physical gifts and relentless development that should continue under NFL position coaches. He won't blow you away with athletic versatility or scheme flexibility across multiple spots, but he'll give you dependable, physical football that keeps your quarterback upright and your run game on schedule. That's the kind of foundational piece teams build their offensive line around, and why Pregnon will be a valuable addition to whichever franchise selects him.
Jacob Rodriguez has apparently improved his draft stock significantly. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8xP9NGx/

I've been looking at the defensive line of the Texans and comparing with what is available in the draft. Peter Woods would obviously be awesome for the Texans since he is a scheme fit and a true three technique. Chris McClellan from Missouri and Cameron Ball from Arkansas could be a fit later in the draft. Both would need to drop about ten to fifteen pounds. The rankings on Edge players is nuts. Gabe Jacas, Dani Dennis-Sutton and Malachi Lawrence belong in the first round. They look good on film and make lots of big plays. Keldric Faulk is this years Shemar Stewart. Lots of physical gifts, minimum production, Shouldn't be considered a 1st rounder. The arm length on Cashius Howell is very alarming for an edge. I think he drops as well. Zion Young has all the physical attributes a team looks for, but why was the production so low?
I love this guy's mocks. Here he did a post-combine, 2-round, mock. He gives great analysis on the draftees and various team needs. Great listen. You're welcome.
