Ryans noted following the divisional round playoff loss to Baltimore that Houston's focus would be on the defensive front. All were brought in to revamp the defensive line around Defensive Rookie of the Year Will Anderson Jr. Derek Stingley Jr. had an incredible sophomore campaign and looked like one of the premier cornerbacks in football.
The Houston Texans addressed some needs in the NFL draft despite not having a first-round pick this year. A year after selecting quarterback C.J. Stroud second overall and trading up to get defensive end Will Anderson Jr. with the following pick, the Texans didn’t have a pick in this draft until No. 42 in the second round. After beefing up their offense significantly by trading for star receiver Stefon Diggs and running back Joe Mixon this offseason, the Texans used their early draft picks to improve their secondary.
The Texans didn't have a first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, but their wait to add a rookie to the roster came to an end with the No. 42 pick.
