Houston currently possesses 12 picks in the 2023 NFL Draft. While this is the first post-Pathers’ trade mock, it does not change who I believe the Texans will select with the second pick. In this mock, there are no trades. We are only taking into account the recent free agent moves as of March 19th. Houston’s biggest needs include QB, EDGE, Center, CB, LB, and Tight End. My strategy is to select players at positions of need and fill in the gaps with players the Texans have reportedly met with previously. Houston will certainly be in a ‘best player available’ mindset, but when push comes to shove they need to rebuild the offense completely and surround their new QB with as much talent and support as they can.
