The Houston Texans have made a trade with the Cleveland Browns involving draft picks ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft. The Texans are sending a 2025 fifth-round pick (166) and a 2027 fifth-round pick while acquiring two 2025 sixth-round picks (179 and 216) and a 2025 seventh-round pick (255) from the Browns.

While this isn't a big draft day trade, the Texans are adding more picks on Day 3 while sending out two fifth-round picks. They stock up on late Day 3 picks, with two sixth-round selections and a seventh-round pick.

General manager Nick Caserio has consistently shown aggressiveness with draft-day trades as he's now made 19 during his tenure.

After making this trade, the Texans now shift their focus to the first round of the NFL Draft tonight. Houston holds the 25th pick in the first round, but with Caserio's history, they could move up or down depending on how the draft board falls.

The priority for the Texans will be to continue building around quarterback C.J. Stroud, as he has led them to back-to-back Divisional Round appearances.

While this is the first draft day trade Houston has made, don't be surprised if they make another in the first round.
