The 2022 NFL draft hasn’t even started, and Houston Texans general manager Nick Caserio has begun wheeling and dealing picks.
According to Adam Schefter from ESPN, the Texans are sending all of their sixth-round (Nos. 183, 205, 207) and seventh-round (No. 245) picks to the New England Patriots for a fifth-round pick.
Houston entered the week lacking a pick in the fifth round. The Patriots had an extra to spare.
The Texans were able to find decent value in the fifth round during 2021, Caserio’s first draft, when Houston selected former Miami tight end Brevin Jordan and TCU linebacker Garret Wallow.
The Texans still have picks in Round 1 (Nos. 3, 13), Round 2 (No. 37), Round 3 (Nos. 68, 80), Round 4 (Nos. 107, 108).
