The Houston Texans and the Art of Accumulation: How Many Draft Picks Did They Hoard This Year?
Let's face it, folks, the Houston Texans haven't exactly been lighting the scoreboard up lately. But hey, at least they're preparing for the future, right? Like a squirrel stockpiling nuts for a nuclear winter, the Texans have been busy gathering draft picks like a kid at a candy store with a sugar daddy credit card.
So, the burning question remains: just how many future stars (or practice squad members, no judgment) do the Texans have waiting in the wings? Buckle up, because this one's a doozy.
Picking Party: A Rundown of the Texans' Draft Bounty
The answer, my friends, is a glorious EIGHT. That's right, eight picks! That's more selections than a multiple-choice question with answer choices A through I.
Here's a sneak peek at their draft day war chest:
- Rounds 2 (x2): Looks like the Texans are playing "Pick Two" this year. Double the excitement, double the chance of someone accidentally calling them the "Texans II."
- Round 3: One pick here. Not too shabby, but maybe they should've gotten a three-for-one deal at the pick store.
- Rounds 4, 6 (x2), and 7 (x3): This is where things get interesting. They've got later round picks scattered around like confetti at a wedding. Maybe they're hoping to snag a hidden gem or two?
But Wait, There's More! (Because the Texans Can't Resist a Good Deal)
Now, eight picks might seem like a lot, but here's the kicker: the Texans don't actually have any first-round picks this year. Apparently, they traded those away for... well, that's a story for another day. Let's just say it involved a whole lot of "hoping for the best" and a sprinkle of "buyer's remorse."
So, what does this all mean? Well, it means the Texans have a lot of options. They can build their team through the draft, stockpile young talent, and maybe even convince everyone they're not secretly a farm team for the rest of the NFL. Or, they could use all those picks to create a life-sized Jenga tower made of future potential. The possibilities are endless!
One thing's for sure: draft day for the Texans is gonna be an adventure. Will they draft the next Tom Brady? Or will they end up with a team of guys who could win the "Most Likely to Be Traded" award? Only time will tell. In the meantime, grab some popcorn, folks, because this is one draft story you won't want to miss.
