The Houston Texans have been linked to former Cincinnati cornerback Ahmad Gardner in the past month. Whether it is coach Lovie Smith having a private meeting with Gardner after his pro day, or the organization bringing in “Sauce” to NRG Stadium, the Texans have considerable interest.
Houston has two picks in Round 1 of the 2022 NFL draft at No. 3 overall and No. 13 overall. Theoretically, Houston could meet an edge rusher need or an offensive line priority with the third overall selection, and then grab Gardner with the 13th overall pick.
However, the New York Giants have two selections at Nos. 5 and 7 overall — perfect position to take who they have their sights set on. One of those targets could be Gardner.
