Houston Texans 2023 NFL Draft Third Round Open Thread

The second round is over and your Houston Texans did not make any selections (because we traded it for Will Anderson Jr. last night, no complaints).

[Narrator: The Texans, in fact, did draft a player in the second round; Juice Scruggs, C - Penn State. We apologize for the error.]

That will not be the case for the third round [ibid], however, as the Texans currently possess (though this humble writer would not be surprised by anything they do right now) the 65th and 73rd overall picks; the second and tenth picks in the third round, respectively.

Who will be joining our new starting quarterback and edge rusher in deep steel blue? You’ll have to find out on TV just like the rest of us.

So here we go, let’s see who will become new Texans.

As always, do not tip off any picks in the chat. Doing so will result in a temporary ban that will last until the end of the draft.

Thanks in advance,
