With Tank Dell expected to miss most of the regular season after suffering a knee injury in Week 16, targeting a No. 2 receiver has moved up the draft pecking order. Safety and running back depth also could be top needs with Eric Murray and Dare Ogunbowale entering free agency.

Following a 24-13 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday afternoon at Arrowhead Stadium, the Texans will select 25th overall in the 2025 draft. At 10-7, Houston had the worst record of any team remaining team, cementing the franchise with the lowest pick remaining.

Every offseason, the NFL awards compensatory draft picks to teams who essentially lost more than they gained in free agency in the previous year. Comp picks are awarded beginning at the end of the third round.
