The Texans gave up picks No. 58 and 99 to move up 10 spots. Understandably, they have placed a premium on upgrading their dreadful offensive line. Ersery (6’6/331) was a three-star recruit who barely saw the field his first two collegiate campaigns before rattling off 38 starts and 800+ snaps each year from 2022-2024. Ersery allowed just 12 pressures, one hit and one sack while earning a 77.3 PFF pass block grade en route to being named Big 10 Offensive Lineman of the Year in 2024. He ran a brisk 5.01s 40-yard dash and tested as a 93rd percentile athlete at the Combine, though his 33 1/8th” arms are on the short side. He held up well against PSU Edge Abdul Carter in pass protection, but Carter’s speed and instincts gave Ersery difficulty in the run game. His hulking frame is a major asset despite some movement limitations and a tendency to bend at the waist. When he’s balanced and not lunging, Ersery roots himself to the ground against power rushers while still having deft enough footwork to run speed rushers out of the play. Ersery has a Christian Darrisaw-lite profile to his game. He will undoubtedly see the field as a rookie in Houston.
