The team's clock ran down much further than many of the franchises on the clock ahead of Dallas, and there was good reason. The Cowboys were mulling over a trade offer, and according to the Draft Show on 105.3 The Fan, the Houston Texans were the team on the other end of Stephen Jones' phone.

The first trade of the 2025 NFL draft involved the Houston Texans and Cleveland Browns exchanging a smattering of late round picks, according to Rapoport. The Texans sent their 2025 fifth-round pick and 2027 fifth-round pick to the Browns in exchange for two 2025 sixth-round picks and a 2025 seventh-round pick.

The 2025 NFL draft is finally upon us in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Houston Texans, with seven picks, are in a prime position to make a significant impact, starting with the No. 25 selection in the first round.
