After months of constant debate, endless mock drafts, and speculation from everyone under the sun, plus a trade down just to spice up things, the Houston Texans finally added their hopeful franchise left tackle in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft.
With ample draft capital, the Texans moved up 10 spots from No. 58 to No. 48 and selected Minnesota offensive tackle Aireontae Ersery with their second selection. A former Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year, Ersery might not start Week 1 for the back-to-back AFC South champions, but he should compete for a shot at becoming the heir apparent to Laremy Tunsil by the end of his rookie season.
