Texans Trade Up in NFL Draft

0:00It's April 23rd, welcome in. This is NFL News Today, where football meets AI. The Houston Texans are buzzing in the final hours before the 2026 NFL draft, with talk heating up about them trading up from there, 28th pick, and the first round. This flips the script from weeks of chatter about them sliding back, now aiming for the middle of the first to snag a top prospect and shake things up, like they often do on draft night. Teams willing to deal our key here, since it takes two sides to make a trade happen, and Houston sits pretty low in that opening round. Eyes are on the Dallas Cowboys at 12, the New York Jets at 16, and the LA Rams at 13 as prime partners, each with flexible picks that could swap for Texans assets like seconds and later rounds. As Thursday night looms, if this smoke turns to fire, Nick Casario's crew could land the game changer without gutting their board, keeping the draft. Drum alive deep into the weekend.
