The 2023 NFL Draft represents the line sign of hope for the Houston Texans. At a time when the organization is looked down upon by so many around the league, the only path to relevancy for Houston is by improving through the draft. It’s not as if the Texans draft history in recent years inspires confidence. Houston drafted Derek Stingley Jr. over All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner and fellow 2022 first-round pick Kenyon Green was one of the worst offensive linemen in the NFL this past season. As for the 2021 NFL Draft, Houston doesn’t have a single building block it can take pride in.
