The draft can be watched starting at 8 p.m. on ABC, ESPN, NFL Network and ESPN Deportes. The draft can also be viewed via live stream on fuboTV and NFL.com/Watch.
Some of the players who could be drafted in the Top 5 of the first round include defensive end Nick Bosa of Ohio State, defensive tackle Ed Oliver of Houston and defensive tackle Quinnen Williams of Alabama.
The Texans with their 23rd overall pick could go a few ways including drafting either an offensive tackle or cornerback in the first round. Some of those players could be offensive tackles Jawaan Taylor (Florida) or Jonah Williams (Alabama), though the Texans would have to trade into the Top 10 of the draft to select one of those two players.
Later in the first round the Texans could draft tackles Andre Dillard (Washington State), Cody Ford (Oklahoma) or even Dalton Risner (Kansas State) though a trade up in the draft order might have to be made to select Dillard. If the Texans decide on drafting a cornerback in Round 1 players could include: Rock Ya-Sin (Temple), Byron Murphy (Washington), Joejuan Williams (Vanderbilt) or Greedy Williams (LSU).
