Does Drafting a Wide Receiver Still Make Sense for Texans?

After the massive trade that landed the franchise Stefon Diggs, does it still make sense for the Houston Texans to select a wide receiver during the 2024 NFL Draft?

HOUSTON — Today's Locked On Texans Podcast discusses if drafting a wide receiver still makes sense for the Houston Texans.

At the start of the 2024 off-season, it appeared that landing a receiver during the draft would have been one of the Texans' top goals. However, the team added one of the best wide receivers in the league with the acquisition of All-Pro Stefon Diggs.

Coach DeMeco Ryans is thrilled about Diggs's arrival. But regardless of the move, the Texans will not change their draft plans. If the Texans look to add a wide receiver with one of their nine selections, which prospect should be near the top of their draft bored?

"Offensively, defensively, we’re trying to build the best team for 2024," Ryans said. "That’s what myself and Nick [Caserio] – that’s what our job is – to add the right pieces, acquire the right players, to have us go out and be our best in 2024."
