Right now, the Houston Texans are slated to pick No. 28 overall on Thursday evening when the 2026 NFL Draft begins in Pittsburgh.
They could end up moving up into the early 20s for the right player.
They could move out of Round 1 like they did last season, allowing a team like the Arizona Cardinals to move up for a quarterback like Alabama's Ty Simpson, similar to how last season they let the New York Giants select Jaxson Dart.
But for now, let's just say the Houston stands pat for 27 picks and then is on the clock. They could go offensive line, defensive line, or even a surprise at wide receiver. But the big question that fans want to know right now what time will they see Roger Goodell take the stage to announce the pick.
The NFL shortened the time limitations for first-round picks this year, where teams will now have to make their pick in eight minutes compared to 10 minutes in years past. That means the first round should move a lot quicker, so the Texans will wind up picking earlier than the Detroit Lions did last year.
Given that Detroit made the pick for Ohio State defensive tackle Tyleik Williams at 11:12 p.m. CT, one would have to assume that with new rules and limitations of commercials, roughly about 40-46 minutes come off the clock. Therefore, the new time that fans should be glued to their televisions is around 10:30 p.m.
The 2026 NFL Draft is scheduled to begin on Thursday evening, but the exact start time has not been specified.
The 2026 NFL Draft will take place in Pittsburgh.
The Texans could select a player for the offensive line, defensive line, or potentially surprise fans with a wide receiver.
