It seems that all eyes will be on the Texans on Thursday, who are going through a transformation to bring glory back to NRG Stadium, but could it start with a potential QB pick in the first round?

A move that netted Houston three additional 1st-round picks and five overall.
All this comes as the Texans look to jumpstart a rebuild with new head coach and former player Demeco Ryans overseeing his first draft as the head man in Houston. General manager Nick Caserio selected an acclaimed rookie class last year, with No. 3 overall pick cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. and two draft steals in safety Jalen Pitre and running-back Dameon Pierce.The floundering Texans, 11-38-1 since 2019, now sit in dire need of a franchise quarterback. Will they take one at No.
Houston also has the No. 33 overall pick in round 2, two more in round 3, and three in the 6th round - where NFL greats like Tom Brady, Antonio Brown, and Jason Kelce were selected.Fans will also watch closely where a pair of big-time local running backs are selected: Fort Bend ISD, Texas AThe University of Houston's longtime starting QB Clayton Tune also wants to hear his name called.
