The Houston Texans enter the 2022 draft with 4 picks in the first 80 selections and 8 picks overall. Houston isn’t expected to pick up any compensatory picks due to their current list of unrestricted free agents and we can’t assume what they will or won’t receive from trading Deshaun Watson and Laremy Tunsil.
For this mock draft, the general strategy was to fill in positions of need throughout the draft. Personally, I am a fan of double-dipping at positions of value (linebacker, safety, and offensive lineman) and using top picks for game changers (quarterback, pass rusher, wide receiver, and cornerback).
