Draft Tracker 2025

[JB]

Love the return for Houston.

Lets find a way to get Jonah from Zona and Jayden Higgins. Maybe even Tyleik Williams… just because I feel like it!

Add in J Campbell from ALA

 

[disaacks3]

So, the Instagram “leak” today was accurate.

 

[BullRushTX]

I can't believe how many edge rushers have fallen

 

[Carr Bombed]

Get a franchise QB and then do nothing to help him.

We haven't even made one selection yet.. might want to hold off on that opinion until after the weekend.

 

[Porky]

This is what a great brain trust does. Don’t panic. Don’t stretch the board for need. Add two valuable assets, and still get one of the guys on your next tier.

I cannot praise this trade more. A+. Great job Nick. Let the chef cook!

 

[The1ApplePie]

What is the best case scenario now? Burden?

 

[ATXtexanfan]

Well I wasted alot of beer and food tonigh

 

[OptimisticTexan]

Man, Dion probably losing it now that QB, Dart was selected ahead of his son.

Browns or Steelers could try to move into RD1 for Sanders.

 

[TheMatrix31]

So, the Instagram “leak” today was accurate.

What was it?

 

[mussop]

I would consider Henderson at 34.

 

[Decim8]

The trade return is almost similar to steelb/beerlovers trade scenario in their mock

 

[NitroGSXR]

I’m stunned at Dart being selected over Sanders.

 

[TheRealJoker V2]

Best choice considering the board....still in a tough spot at OL though.

Given the talent available, they are well-positioned to address it.

 

[mussop]

Conerly and Grant plus several WRs on board. ATL now at 26

Grant?

 

[dalemurphy]

watch out for a move back up at the end of the round. We probably went with the deal with the NYG because of the 2026 3rd round sweetener... 34 may not have been where Nick wanted to move to.

 

[SAMURAITEXAN]

Love this trade.

Go Texans!

Giants GM Joe Schoen’s Son May Have Accidentally Leaked New York’s Plan To Draft Jaxson Dart On Instagram
By Randy Oliver - April 24, 2025

This was 12 hours ago.

 

[cland]

LOL, I truly have some magical power over the draft. It's a long story that I don't have time to tell, but whenever my guy is there they trade back.

 

[The1ApplePie]

Goddamn. ATL loading up

 

[badboy]

Plus #99 I think

34 99 and 2026 round 3. Way too low but Caserio often gives up more to get his picks. 2026 round 3 = 4.105

Absolutely !

 

[TheMatrix31]

So that Pearce guy, espn said the main concern with him is consistency?

Why would anyone trade up to draft a player whose consistency/motor/work ethic is a concern. Seems stupid. Doesn't matter how good you are if you ain't got it in the brain or heart.

 

[OptimisticTexan]

I’m sliding my chips in on WR- Jayden Higgins (Iowa State). Legit WR1 or WR2 in the Texans offense. He’d be a justifiable pick at 34.

 

[ATXtexanfan]

Man we screwed the pooch last year with Diggs

See how this year goes

 

[Sweech]

Get a franchise QB and then do nothing to help him.

One pick was never going to fix the problems.

Acquiring more capital is actually the smartest move. By far.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

The disadvantage of not have taken a 1st round pick is that we lose the option of the 5th year.

 

[dalemurphy]

Nick continues to think ahead... accumulating picks in 2026, when we will have a lot of veteran contracts coming off the books and Stroud negotations, we will need as much of those middle and late round indentured servants as we can acquire if we are going to sustain a championship window once the new Stroud contract hits the books.

 

[ATXtexanfan]

The disadvantage of not have taken a 1st round pick is that we lose the option of the 5th year.

Trading a second for a 1 year rental wasn't smart either

 

[Mangler]

Goddamn. ATL loading up

No kidding! Two Edge Rushers? Dayuum!

This is what I preferred from the start. I want as many top 100 picks as possible. There is a lot of talent still in this draft.

He was considered the best pass rusher in college football and the draft for a while. Arguably a top=five player if he gets his head out of his ass

 

[TxnsJuggernaut1]

Given the talent available, they are well-positioned to address it.

What do y'all think of Ozzy Trupilo OT Boston College?

 

[TheMatrix31]

Great, someone allowed Baltimore to draft a safety from a top school. Wonderful.

 

[Mangler]

I literally just told my buddy the same thing!

 

[Speedy]

Could you please wait for the Tv

Why does it matter? Isn’t the goal here to know what the picks are? Who cares how that info is delivered?

 

[TheMatrix31]

I guess that was the question with Jalen Carter last year right? And he slipped and the Eagles got him.

I guess it can happen.

 

[badboy]

34 99 and 2026 round 3. Way too low but Caserio often gives up more to get his picks. 2026 round 3 = 4.105

I had time to review and I was incorrect: 1.25 = 720 and the NYG picks = 748. I used the 2026 round three to + 4.104 this draft.

 

[Carr Bombed]

Man, Dion probably losing it now that QB, Dart was selected ahead of his son.

Browns or Steelers could try to move into RD1 for Sanders.

Don't worry, I'm sure he's still going to get a first round ribbon from Daddy, because he deserves instant gratification NOW.. Personally I wouldn't touch him with a 10 foot pole. The Browns can get him in the 2nd round..

 

[Grams]

So we now have 2 picks in the second and 3 picks in the third

 

[The1ApplePie]

Nick continues to think ahead... accumulating picks in 2026, when we will have a lot of veteran contracts coming off the books and Stroud negotations, we will need as much of those middle and late round indentured servants as we can acquire if we are going to sustain a championship window once the new Stroud contract hits the books.

The argument is that you try to win now, while Stroud and Anderson are cheap. A lot of future picks are nice for rebuilding teams

 

[Speedy]

The disadvantage of not have taken a 1st round pick is that we lose the option of the 5th year.

How many 1st rounders have the Texans ever let get to the 5th year option? Don’t they usually just do a new deal beforehand?

 

[badboy]

Well I wasted alot of beer and food tonigh

you didn't eat? heck BBQ two night in a row is awesome

 

[JWLCASPER]

I’ll say it again, 2026 draft is considered a much higher talent pool draft and with the contracts we have coming soon, great to load up early for 2026 and 2027.

And to pick up the return for moving down 8-9 picks, great work by Nick and Co.

 

[Thorn]

We get five picks tomorrow, I hope they're good ones. I don't think we're getting any offensive lineman that are going to immediately start. Some good backups and rotational players would at least help. It doesn't sound so far that I'm going to like the oline going into camp. What comes out of camp is more important, but I remain very suspicious of Cam Robinson being able to play even half the season.

 

[dalemurphy]

I had time to review and I was incorrect: 1.25 = 720 and the NYG picks = 748. I used the 3036 round three to + 4.104 this draft.

and the most valuable part of the trade isn't represented in the numbers- we didn't have conviction on a player so we moved out/back and added capital. That is the way its done!

 

[The1ApplePie]

So, are we hoping for Burden and Connerly in the 2nd?

 

[OptimisticTexan]

What do y'all think of Ozzy Trupilo OT Boston College?

I like LT/RT- Ozzy Trapilo. I also like LT- Jaylin Travis (Iowa State) and LG- Connor Colby (Iowa).

Also, massive human OT- Hollin Pierce (Rutgers) is out there for developmental purposes.

 

[austins23]

5 picks from 34 - 99 tomorrow and the next day…. Not bad

 

[badboy]

Grant?

yep Charles Grant.. you have missed a lot of discussion over last month.

 

[Decim8]

Trading a second for a 1 year rental wasn't smart either

Agreed but that's water under the bridge now
