The Texans made some major moves on the first day of the 2025 NFL Draft.
Just moments before they were slated to choose at 25th overall, the Texans dealt that first round selection to the New York Giants, who used it to select Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart.
Houston received the 34th and 99th overall picks in this year's Draft, as well as a third-rounder in 2026. The Texans now have five picks tomorrow evening. Executive Vice President/General Manager Nick Caserio explained why Houston made the move.
"That was the best thing for us," Caserio said. "Puts us in a pretty good spot. Two twos, three threes. Picked up another three next year. We think we're going to get some pretty good football players tomorrow. We felt like the value of the draft was basically in the middle. So try to take advantage of our opportunities here tomorrow."
Following both trades, Houston now has 10 picks over the remaining two days of the draft.
Three hours before the Draft began, Caserio executed a trade with the Browns, acquiring three picks from Cleveland.
Round 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft begins Friday night at 6 p.m. CT.
