Even though the Houston Texans are finally finished rebuilding, draft season never goes away, especially in the age of salary cap football. Teams are constantly involved in talent acquisition.
According to Josh Edwards from CBS Sports, the Texans use their projected No. 24 overall pick in Round 1 of the 2024 NFL draft to take Washington defensive end Bralen Trice.
DeMeco Ryans is not going to settle for one or two pass rushers. He wants an Army. Bralen Trice paired with Jonathan Greenard and Will Anderson Jr. is a solid foundation.
The thought that the Texans include Trice as part of a triumvirate with Greenard and Anderson is interesting as it presumes the Texans work out a deal to keep Greenard around. The former 2020 third-rounder is currently in the final year of his rookie deal, and no doubt his performance on-field is his best negotiating power. If the Texans believe Greenard is too pricey, they may take Trice nonetheless.
The Washington edge rusher has 28 combined tackles, 5.0 tackles for loss, 3.0 sacks, and a fumble recovery through 10 games for the Huskies, who face Oregon State on Nov. 18.
