Official 2022 NFL Draft - Round 1-7 Thread

[Keith]

What a difference a year makes... last year, the draft sucked as the Texans had no early picks. This year, the team is scheduled to pick twice in the first half of the first round. And GM Nick Caserio may have an itchy trigger finger when it comes to moving picks, as most recently demonstrated by his move up to pick #170 in lieu of 6th (183) and 7th (245) round picks back to the Patriots.

Assuming two of these are gone by their pick, who is the Texans' pick at #3? Frequent names mentioned include:

OL Ikem Ekwonu (NC State)
CB Ahmad Gardner (Cincinnati)
DE Aiden Hutchinson (Michigan)
OL Evan Neal (Alabama)
CB Derek Stingley, Jr. (LSU)
DE Kayvon Thibodeaux (Oregon)
DE Travon Walker (Georgia)

At pick #13, Caserio has dropped hints he is very willing to move from here, most likely down but up is a possibility, too.

All the Texans picks (as of this posting):
Round 1 (3)
Round 1 (13)
Round 2 (37)
Round 3 (68)
Round 3 (80)
Round 4 (107)
Round 4 (108)
Round 5 (170)
Round 6 (205)
Round 6 (207)
