This may be Nick Caserio’s second draft for the Houston Texans but, for many fans, it feels a lot more like his first.
Last year, despite finishing 2020 with the third worst record in the league, Houston didn’t have their first pick in the draft until the 67th overall selection in Round 3. Former coach-general manager Bill O’Brien had previously shipped off the team’s first and second round selections as part of the Laremy Tunsil deal and Houston was left without any capital to improve after their dreadful campaign.
Despite the relative lack of resources, Caserio did great. He found meaningful contributors in each round of the draft in Davis Mills, Nico Collins, Roy Lopez, Brevin Jordan and Garrett Wallow. For a draft that was considered hopeless, Houston left with a good deal of success.
