The NFL Draft kicks off April 23, and the mock drafts are flying all over the place.
The Draft Wire released their latest seven-round mock draft and author Luke Easterling kept it straight for the Texans by using all seven of their picks on players, not pulling any tricks out of the “Trader Bill” playbook. Here is who the Texans ended up selecting:
40. Houston Texans (from ARI) | Damon Arnette | CB | Ohio State
90. Houston Texans | Robert Hunt | OL | Louisiana
111. Houston Texans (from MIA) | Davon Hamilton | DL | Ohio State
171. Houston Texans | Terence Steele | OT | Texas Tech
240. Houston Texans | Oluwole Betiku | EDGE | Illinois
248. Houston Texans | Mitchell Wilcox | TE | USF
250. Houston Texans | James Robinson | RB | Illinois State
Easterling had the Texans addressing their offensive line and interior defensive line with their third through fifth round selections. If the Texans wait until the seventh round to bolster their pass rush, then they could be in as bad of shape as they were in 2019 when they finished tied with the Cincinnati Bengals for sixth-fewest sacks with 31.
