The Houston Texans possess the No. 3 overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft. Some mock drafts have the Texans in position to grab either Michigan defensive end Aidan Hutchinson or Oregon defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux. Others have the Texans missing out on both of them and having to go address the offensive line or the secondary with their third overall pick.
According to Luke Easterling from the Draft Wire, the Texans are in position to take one of the two best pass rushers in the draft and bolster their edge defense.
The Texans are in prime position to land a blue-chip prospect no matter how the first two picks go, and this scenario gives them a player many thought would be the consensus No. 1 overall pick for much of the year. Thibodeaux was banged up a bit this season, and still needs some development, but his ceiling is through the roof.
