Texans Wire 7-round mock draft: Houston goes with Ikem Ekwonu, Kyle Hamilton, RBs

The Houston Texans are officially eight days away from the 2022 NFL Draft. General Manager Nick Caserio will have five picks in the top-100 and two selections in the top-15 to try to put a more competitive roster around new head coach Lovie Smith.

Caserio has a multitude of ways to improve the team over his 11 selections fortunately. They can focus on building the defense, the hallmark of Smith, or could try to amplify the talent around second year quarterback Davis Mills.

Here, the Texans Wire tries to project the full seven-round slate here in a draft that would serve to give Smith his foundational defensive pieces while greatly building the probability of Mills to succeed this season. Per usual, there are no trades in this mock draft.
