Jeremiah Smith Heads to the Texans in 2027 NFL Mock Draft

A 2027 NFL mock draft by FanSided's Zachary Rotman projects Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith to be selected first overall by the Houston Texans. Writer Michael Roberts notes that while Houston has started the season with an 0-4 record, it remains unlikely the team will ultimately finish with the league's worst record to secure the top pick.

Roberts argues that if the Texans do end up with the No. 1 overall selection, drafting Smith would make sense despite already rostering Pro Bowl receiver Nico Collins. The article highlights Smith's dominant college career with Ohio State, including a national championship win and breaking the NCAA freshman receiving record.
