The challenge facing general manager Nick Caserio is to build the Houston Texans into a team that can stack wins on the field while at the same developing a culture that is self-sustaining.
Going back to Caserio’s first draft in 2021, the Texans targeted players who would foment competition at their position and would follow the lead of effective veterans.
The strategy was necessary given Houston’s dearth of draft picks in the top-100, not picking until Round 3 at No. 67 overall. However, the Texans have five picks in the top-100 in 2022 with twin first-rounders for the first time since 2004.
