Houston Texans GM Nick Caserio explained the team's thinking in opting to trade their first-round pick to the Giants and move back in the NFL draft.

The Houston Texans were rumored to eye a trade up into the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft on Thursday. Houston general manager Nick Caserio took the reverse route with a dose of draft-day wheeling and dealing.

Instead, the Texans won't pick until the second selection in the second round on Friday in Round 2. Once a run of talent went on interior offensive linemen, it became clear that Houston was going after draft picks than one certain player.
