Corey Nelson, our 289th ranked linebacker, is best suited to
be a depth backup. We project he will end up with the Houston Texans because they
could use a player of this quality after losing Derek Rivers and Blake Cashman for an extended period of time. The Texans
currently have 4 healthy linebackers, and none are
rated better than Nelson.
The Texans currently have no
linebackers under contract beyond the 2027 season,
so Nelson may only be getting a short term deal, considering his age, with the team.
