209. CJ Dippre, TE, Alabama (6-5, 256)​

Dippre doesn’t have a true distinguishing trait as a blocker or receiver, but he is good enough in both areas to have a fighting chance at a roster spot. His special teams experience will be an asset in camp.

211. Nazir Stackhouse, DT, Georgia (6-4, 327)​

Stackhouse is a naturally powerful human who can two-gap, eat up double teams and make run stops at the line. He will add early-down nose tackle depth to an NFL defense.

252. Luke Kandra, G, Cincinnati (6-5, 320)​

Kandra is mechanical and upright in his movements, so it doesn’t always look pretty, but he finds a way, rarely allowing his quarterback to be pressured and routinely executing his assignments in the run game. If he lands in the right spot, he could stick on an NFL roster.

262. Corey Kiner, RB, Cincinnati (5-9, 209)​

Kiner is a compactly built tackle breaker. He won’t impress with speed or burst, but his balance through contact will be his NFL ticket. Proving himself on passing downs will help his chances of making a roster.

268. Jay Higgins, LB, Iowa (6-0, 224)​

Higgins’ lack of ideal speed and length will be more glaring in the NFL, but he consistently punches above his weight class. His instincts and toughness will help disguise concerns about his game, too. His game is reminiscent of Anthony Walker, who has been a productive pro when healthy.

Stackhouse is signing with the Packers
Kandra is signing with the Panthers
 
He's a heck of a blocker, and has some underrated athletic traits. He definitely needs some more time getting bigger/stronger (especially in the lower body), but I think he projects pretty well as a blocking TE/RZ option.

It always bothers me that the Texans rarely seem to be particularly active on the UDFA front, but I think they've done a pretty good job this year.

Personally, it is apparent that Texans FO did a thorough job this year
Kudos to their scouting team!

It doesn't appear that Demeco wants those types of DT's. Biggest DT we have is around 313 I think. I'm sure he'd take a big DT that could penetrate and hustle...but he doesn't seem to covet two gap space eaters.
His defense is designed for the Dline to be penetrators who play the run on the way to the QB...Not for guys to hold blockers and eat up space.

I think they would've been super tempted if a DT like Grant had been around for their first pick but, like you said, they don't just want a space eater.

I get this, but it would be nice to have one space eater.
