Houston Texans: First Round Pick? More Like First Round Gone!
So, you wanna know if the Houston Texans have a first-round pick? Well, buckle up, buttercup, because this is a rollercoaster of draft drama.
The Texans: Draft Day Bandits
Let's just say the Texans have been quite active on draft day. They're like those kids who always trade their lunch for extra recess. Remember when they traded up to get both C.J. Stroud and Will Anderson Jr. in the same first round? Yeah, we do too. It was like watching a kid in a candy store on a sugar rush.
But here's the kicker: they don't have a first-round pick this year. Yep, you heard that right. It's like they traded their lunch money for a shiny new toy and now they're eating ramen for a week.
How'd They Do It?
Good question! The Texans are basically the draft day equivalent of card sharks. They traded away one of their first-round picks to move up and grab Will Anderson last year. And then, in a shocking twist, they traded the other first-rounder (originally from the Deshaun Watson trade) to the Vikings for some other picks.
It's like they're playing 4D chess while everyone else is still figuring out checkers.
So, What Now?
Well, the Texans have a couple of second-round picks, so they're not completely out of the woods. But it's definitely a bummer for fans who were hoping for a big splash in the first round.
On the bright side, maybe this will give the Texans front office some extra time to perfect their victory dance for when their young core finally takes off.
