The Houston Texans as of early April don’t have a draft pick until No. 67 overall rolls around in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft. That is a long wait on Day 2 to see 66 players be selected before the Texans make a pick, but maybe that patience will pay off.

A player who could be on the board early in the third round for the Houston Texans is edge rusher Payton Turner of the University of Houston, as he does have a lot of positives entering the NFL as a rookie.
