HOUSTON -- For the first time since 2019, the Houston Texans have a first-round pick in the NFL draft. In fact, they have two (No. 3 and No. 13), after trading quarterback Deshaun Watson, a former first-round pick himself, to the Cleveland Browns last month.
General manager Nick Caserio is in the process of rebuilding the roster, and now he has the draft capital to do it. The Texans have 11 picks in this year’s draft, including five in the top 80. A year ago, Caserio took just one player in the first 80 picks.
