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.

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.
