Texans’ 2022 NFL Draft Picks: Who Houston Took Each Round

The Texans own two picks in the top 15 and will be picking on Thursday night for the first time in three years.

For the first time since 2019, the Texans will pick in the first round, owning pick No. 3 overall in the 2022 NFL draft. Additionally, the Deshaun Watson trade netted Houston multiple first round picks, including pick No. 13 heading into Thursday's draft.

Last year, despite a limited number of premium draft picks, Houston made the most out of their picks, as all five of their picks played in at least nine games.

However, in the first round, Philadelphia made a trade with Houston. The Eagles sent the Texans their No. 15, No. 124, No. 162 and No. 166 picks. In return, Philadelphia acquired Houston's No. 13 pick. 

The Texans will enter 2022 with their third coach in three years, as Lovie Smith takes over after being the defensive coordinator last year.

Here is how the Texans draft looks so far (to be updated during the NFL draft):

• Round 1, Pick 3: Derek Stingley Jr, CB, LSU
