The newest NFL franchise Houston Texans finished 4th in the AFC South in the 2022 season. They have been struggling in attack ever since the departure of star quarterback DeShaun Watson to the Cleveland Browns.

The 2023 NFL Draft is special for the Texans as they will rebuild their squad and bolster it to challenge for an NFL Playoff spot this season. Let us take a look at the number of picks Houston Texans have in the upcoming NFL Draft.

Houston Texans 2023 NFL Draft Picks

Here are the Texans’ picks for the 2023 NFL Draft:

  • Round 1, Pick 2

  • Round 1, Pick 12 (from Cleveland Browns)

  • Round 2, Pick 33

  • Round 3, Pick 65

  • Round 3, Pick 73 (from the Cleveland Browns)

The Texans have a total of 12 picks in the 2023 NFL Draft. They have the most number of picks in the NFL Draft in 2023, only tied with the Las Vegas Raiders.

In this year's draft, the Houston Texans originally held 11 picks, including two in the top 12 overall picks. The two first-round picks for the Texans can prove to be a great way to strengthen their squad.

The Texans received the first-round picks in 2022, 2023, and 2024 from the Cleveland Browns in exchange for Deshaun Watson last year. A third-round pick from this year and a fourth-round pick from 2024 were also acquired by them. Almost half of the Texans’ draft selections are in Round 6 of the Draft. They have four sixth-round selections — picks they mainly acquired via prior trades.

Houston Texans Previous Season Picks

In the 2022 NFL season, the Panthers made a total of 6 picks. They started their NFL draft with the 6th overall pick in the first round by selecting Offensive Tackle Ikem Ekwonu. Their Draft class ended with pick number 242, cornerback Kalon Barnes.
