2023 projected NFL draft order: Texans, Steelers top first round

The winless Houston Texans have the best chance to pick No. 1 overall in the 2023 NFL draft, according to the updated projections from the ESPN Football Power Index (FPI).

The 0-3-1 Texans -- who picked third in the 2022 draft -- have a 33.2% chance to land the top selection, and they're followed by the 1-3 Pittsburgh Steelers (14.5%), who just benched quarterback Mitch Trubisky in favor of rookie first-rounder Kenny Pickett.

There already have been five trades involving first-round picks for next April's draft, with the Texans, Detroit Lions, Seattle Seahawks and Philadelphia Eagles in line to have two selections in Round 1.
