Texans trade with Raiders, return to Round 5 of 2023 NFL draft

The Houston Texans trade with the Las Vegas Raiders to move back into Round 4 and also obtain a pick in Round 5 of the 2023 NFL draft.

The Houston Texans have are returning to the fifth round.

According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, the Texans have traded Nos. 104 (Round 4) and 203 (Round 6) overall to the Las Vegas Raiders for Nos. 109 (Round 4) and 174 (Round 5).

The move allows the Texans get to continue to pick through the first two rounds of Day 3 where they feel that much of their scouting and preparedness for the draft will pay off.

Caserio told reporters after the first night of the draft that the trades the organization makes are “player driven.” If the Texans are making moves to get into Round 5, there must be a player they believe they can get at that value.
