As of Thursday night, the Houston Texans own the 38th overall pick in Round 2, but given general manager Nick Caserio, a trade could already be in the works.
The TexansĀ are coming off anĀ NFL DraftĀ a year ago, where they technically landed three starters on Day 2. Jayden Higgins ended up becoming a quality No. 2 receiver while Tay Ersery started every game at either left or right tackle. Jaylin Noel rotated in between reps in the slot and outside, but saw most of his success come on special teams.
All three selections were made within the first 80 picks. As of now, Houston has four picks in the top 70, including three on Day 2.
Throughout the past two decades, teams haven't had the most amount of success with pick No. 38. Most players have either underperformed or been transformed into nothing more than depth pieces on different teams.
