Where are the Houston Texans picking in the 2026 NFL Draft?
It's a bit more flexibility than they've had in years past. Thanks to 2025's trade down the board with the New York Giants that allowed them to land Jaxson Dart, along with their trade with the Washington Commanders, Houston has four selections in the first three rounds to offer a nice boost of young talent headed into next season and onwards.
But, where exactly do they stand within all seven rounds? With over 250 picks on the board, it can oftentimes be easy to get confused about where each team may sit in all three days of the draft. So with that in mind, we've put together a comprehensive list for all eight of the Texans' 2026 draft picks from rounds one through seven:3rd – 5 – 69th As of March 28th, 2026 Of course, there's tons of time for the Texans to move up and down the board between now and when they're on the clock that could change their outlook on any of the three days they'll be selecting. Especially considering this same front office traded out of the first round in last year's draft for an early second rounder, all bets are off for how their stockpile of assets may shift between now and when they come out on the other side of their three days in Pittsburgh.
