Texans predict David Montgomery replacement in 2027 NFL draft with Ole Miss RB

The Houston Texans are projected to select Kewan Lacy, a running back from Ole Miss, in the 2027 NFL Draft. ESPN's Jordan Reid believes this move would serve as a replacement for either David Montgomery or Woody Marks, despite the Texans recently trading for Montgomery. Lacy's impressive 2026 season, where he scored 24 touchdowns, makes him an attractive option. The Texans seek further offensive enhancements as their running back room remains competitive. The potential selection of Lacy could cause them to part ways with Montgomery due to his advancing age.
