0:00It's April 20th. Welcome in. This is NFL News Today, where the league meets AI, I'm Corey, with the story. The Houston Texans head into the upcoming NFL Draft with eight picks across three days, and they're in a sweet spot to just grab the best players. Available instead of forcing needs, they're roster stacked enough that they don't have to panic about anyone's spot. That flexibility means they could tweak the offensive line, beef up the defensive line on the edge, or inside, or even add weapons at running back. Wide receiver, or tight end, whatever talent falls to them. Fans and analysts are buzzing about how solid the Texans quarterback room already is, with no real holes to fill. CJ. Shrouds locked in as a starter, through at least 2027, may be longer with an extension on the horizon. Davis Mills holds down quarterback 2 as a reliable backup, who's more valuable to keep around than trade, and Graham Mertz, their 100, 97th pick from last year, rounds out the third spot without seeing a snap yet, but he's good enough to stick.
