Texans would have Nos. 1 and 11 overall in 2023 NFL draft

The Houston Texans would have the first overall and the 11th overall picks in Round 1 of the 2023 NFL draft if the season ended after Week 16.

The Houston Texans are precipitously close to having two picks within the top-10 of the 2023 NFL draft.

According to Luke Easterling from the Draft Wire, the Texans would have the No. 1 overall pick and the No. 11 overall pick if the draft were held based on the results of the 2022 season through Week 16.

The Texans’ 2-12-1 record affects their proprietary selection — No. 1 overall — while the Cleveland Browns’ 6-9 record is why Houston’s second pick would be No. 11 overall.

Houston and Cleveland made an offseason trade that involved the Browns’ first-round picks from 2022-24.

Most mock drafts have the Texans taking Alabama quarterback Bryce Young with their No. 1 overall pick.
