The Houston Texans’ 4-13 record earned them favorable draft positioning, not just in Round 1 with the No. 3 overall pick, but throughout the entire 2022 NFL draft.
It also helped that Houston’s general manager wasn’t also their coach and traded future top-50 picks to cover for poor talent development along the offensive line.
No matter what the Texans do at No. 3 overall, whether it is take a dynamic safety, a dominant edge rusher, or a proven tackle, No. 37 overall in Round 2 is another chance for Houston to add a key piece to their defense.
