Houston Texans har foretaget en strategisk trade med Las Vegas Raiders for at rykke op til det 36. samlede valg i NFL-draftet 2024. Med denne position valgte Texans den lovende defensive tackle Kayden McDonald fra Ohio State University.
McDonald, der tidligere blev kåret til Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year og udnævnt til All-Big Ten førstehold, havde kun ét år som starter for Buckeyes. Alligevel imponerede han med solide præstationer: 11 tackles for tab, tre sacks, to tvungne fumble og tre forsvarede afleveringer over 36 kampe og 14 starter.
Valget af McDonald markerer et strategisk træk for Texans, der ønsker at styrke deres defensive linje. Han var en af de få spillere, der blev tilbage i draftens grønne rum i Pittsburgh efter torsdagens udvælgelser.
For at sikre sig det 36. valg måtte Texans sende Raiders to fremtidige draftvalg: 38. og 91. runde i bytte for 36. og 117. runde i årets draft.
