The Texans did something in the 2025 NFL draft that no other team did: They traded all their original picks, and used only picks that they had acquired in trades.
Houston drafted nine players, and all nine of those picks were acquired in trades. Houston traded its original pick in all seven rounds, and Houston was also involved in some trades of picks that were moved more than once; in some cases the Texans traded for a pick and then traded it again rather than using it.
Trades are not unusual in the NFL draft. In fact, most picks in the 2025 draft got traded: 137 of the 257 picks (53 percent) were traded at least once.
