The Houston Texans were already getting an extra pick in the 2022 NFL draft thanks to an earlier offseason trade with the Cleveland Browns, but general manager Nick Caserio was looking at more.
Even though Caserio dealt Houston’s No. 13 pick to the Philadelphia Eagles for No. 15 and more on Thursday night during Round 1, the Texans were looking at getting back into the late part of Day 1 to have a trio of first-rounders for the first time in team history.
“We had some dialogue,” Caserio said. “Absolutely we did. Kind of repositioning ourselves going from 37 to wherever, how much would that take? What would we have to give up in return? I think where we kind of ended up was, all right, to go from 37 to kind of the low to mid 20s, you would have to give up X, and then you would have a gap there in the middle.”
