The Notre Dame alum spent most of the build-up to the draft being seen as a sure-fire top-five pick. In recent weeks, however, many have reported that a significant drop from that position is expected to take place. His positional value, athletic testing and a season-ending knee injury have been named as causes for teams at the top of the board to potentially pass on him.
One of those clubs is the Jets. Currently the owners of the No. 4 and 10 selections, the team has been linked with Hamilton on multiple occasions. The former Golden Domer has also met with other teams, such as the Lions and Giants, who hold top-ten picks. It comes as no surprise, then, that the Texans (who own the third-overall selection, as well as No. 13 as a result of the Deshaun Watson trade) are doing their due diligence on him.
The Texans are in position to take the top available prospects with their picks, given the state of their roster. That could lead them towards the top remaining defensive ends and offensive linemen, especially with respect to the No. 3 selection. The Steelers, meanwhile, are in need of a safety; while there are free agents still available at the position (including Tyrann Mathieu), Hamilton would provide a similar skillset and solid value if he were still available at No. 20.
Once Hamilton’s visits with these two clubs are completed, he will have met with nearly every relevant team within range of selecting him. Where he ultimately lands remains one of the most intriguing questions surrounding this year’s draft.
Doubt he’d fall to the Steelers at 20, but certainly see him possibly available at 13 for the Texans. Personally I think the Texans need to address others areas before safety, but nonetheless could look at him as a building block for future drafts and signings.

He and Minkah would look pretty good together on the back end
Vastly overrated prospect, like most ND players are.
Well that one guy got catfished
If he falls to Steelers, that would be one of the talks of the draft.
