Houston Texans har endnu engang benyttet sig af en trade for at rykke op i draften. Denne gang var det dog ikke en stor manøvre som for tre år siden, da de sikrede sig Will Anderson. I stedet har Texans foretaget en mindre trade med Buffalo Bills for at komme højere op i første runde.
Gennem en aftale med Bills rykkede Texans fra position 28 til 26 i draften, hvor de valgte Keylan Rutledge, en guard fra Georgia Tech. Valget af Rutledge understreger holdets fokus på at styrke den offensive linje, som har været en udfordring i de seneste sæsoner.
For at opnå position 26 samt et ekstra pick (nr. 91) i draften, afgav Texans tre picks til Bills: nr. 28, 69 og 167.
En stærkere offensive linje kan være nøglen til at frigøre quarterback C.J. Stroud og give ham bedre betingelser for at præstere på banen. Hvis dette sker, vil handelen have været det hele værd for Texans.
