Si la mayoría de las predicciones tienen razón, los Texans elegirán a un liniero ofensivo de Alabama o un profundo de Notre Dame con la tercera selección general en el Draft de la NFL de este año.
Más del 50% de los 23 mock drafts más destacados tienen a Houston seleccionando a Evan Neal de la Crimson Tide o Kyle Hamilton de los Fighting Irish. Neal (6-7, 350 libras) fue un All-American esta temporada como tackle izquierdo, luego de registrar aperturas en más de 10 partidos como tackle derecho en 2020 y como guardia izquierdo la temporada anterior. Está proyectado para los Texans en siete publicaciones distintas.
Hamilton (6-4, 220 libras), mientras tanto, fue elegido para Houston por seis medios de comunicación diferentes. Tiene la capacidad de jugar en diferentes posiciones en la defensiva secundaria y es un gran golpeador.
Por su parte, Derek Stingle, esquinero de LSU, también es una de las posibilidades al ser elegido cuatro veces para llegar a Houston, mientras que la tercia de Aidan Hutchinson, DE de Michigan, Kayvon Thibodeaux, DE de Oregon, y Ikem Ekwonu, OL de NC State, solo aparecieron en dos predicciones.
El Draft de la NFL comienza el jueves 28 de abril por la noche en Las Vegas. Houston tiene la tercera selección general y cuatro picks en total en las primeras 80 selecciones. En total, actualmente cuenta con nueve selecciones repartidas en las siete rondas del Draft.
