The only way the Houston Texans win in 2022 is by continuing to lose. They currently hold the second and fifth picks in the 2023 NFL Draft and have no chance to compete with the league’s elite teams this year. So, continuing to pull the goalie in the fourth quarter just makes sense.
The real question is, has Nick Caserio done enough to clear the deadwood and bring in young talent that 2023 could actually put the Texans back on track? Or, is 2024 a more reasonable expectation?
If the NFL season ended today, the #Texans would have two top-five picks in the NFL draft.
