Texans pick Travon Walker, Trevor Penning in USA TODAY Sports mock draft

The Houston Texans’ twin first-round picks in the 2022 NFL draft represent an opportunity to add the best talent to a roster that is basically a blank canvass. The extra talent is a chance for general manager Nick Caserio to finally paint a masterpiece in Houston.

According to Joel Erickson from USA TODAY Sports, the Texans start off the draft by taking former Georgia defensive end Travon Walker with the No. 3 overall pick.

With needs covering almost the entire roster and the team’s lone star, Laremy Tunsil, entrenched at left tackle, the Texans bet on upside, taking the athletic potential of Walker and hoping he can be the next superstar in a long line of franchise pass rushers in Houston.
