Texans’ 3 best players to target with first pick of 2024 NFL Draft
The Texans don’t pick until the 40s, but there will still be some interesting prospects available in the 2024 NFL Draft.
The Houston Texans shot out of a cannon last season. They went from a 3-13-1 record in 2022 to not only a 10-7 mark, but they also won the AFC South and a playoff game to boot. They have an outstanding 2023 draft class to thank for that, which included both the eventual offensive (CJ Stroud) and defensive (Will Anderson Jr.) Rookie of the Year winners as well as wide receiver Nathaniel ‘Tank’ Dell and center Juice Scruggs. Houston got a lot from their rookies last season.
It will be harder to replicate that rookie production this time around. The Texans had two first-round picks at their disposal last year, but have none this time around. They parted with a first they got from the Cleveland Browns in the trade for Deshaun Watson to move up to select Anderson Jr. a year ago, and just recently sent the 23rd overall pick to the Minnesota Vikings. Houston won’t
make a selection (as things stand) until the 42nd overall pick of the draft. There will still be some standout prospects on the board for them though. Players like Chris Braswell, TJ Tampa, and Trey Benson come to mind as options for the Texans there.
