The Houston Texans have made the most out of their last three years' worth of picks. Maximizing the picks obtained by trading the once-franchise quarterback Deshaun Watson to the Cleveland Browns, the Texans have set themselves up for success. The 2022 and 2023 NFL Drafts have been some of the best in franchise history, at least in the short term, and the 2024 class has potential.
From here on out, however, no more extra picks are coming from the Browns in exchange for Watson. Most of the picks the team has are their picks, and even then the team owes a few selections to other teams.
So what does the Houston Texans future look like in the NFL Draft? Let's take a look.
