How Texans made decision to trade for Joe Mixon, sign him to $27 million extension: 'We think he can help our team'
It was a somewhat winding, circuitous search for the Texans as they sought to bolster their backfield. The Texans were in the middle of the running back derby, wheeling and dealing and negotiated or held conversations about contract parameters with several of the top free agents. The Texans were in need of a proven running back after being outbid by the Philadelphia Eagles for running back Saquon Barkley. Then, the Texans lost starting running back Devin “Motor” Singletary in free agency to the New York Giants, Barkley's former team, as they made him an offer averaging $4 million.

Expert Commentary
Just like McKinstry in the last pick, Lassiter isn’t a burner. However, he’s a physical, talented cornerback that has the ability to tackle in the open field and come in as a Day 1 starter at nickel for the Texans. This is a great pick.

Expert Commentary
This pick might not come to fruition right away for the Texans, but it’s a great long-term play. Fisher is a bit raw, but he’s young and is still a realistic bet to hit his ceiling in a big way for the Texans. This pick could pay off in the long run for C.J. Stroud and the Texans.

Nice pick up for the Texans, who needed a safety to pair with Jalen Pitre. Bullock was one of the few playmakers on defense for the Trojans, notching nine interceptions in three seasons.
