The NFL Draft is one of the main sources of team recruitment in the league. Teams are able to select eligible college players to join their team or even trade their current members for other NFL veterans from others teams. The draft contains of seven rounds, each having 32 picks. The order of the picks is based purely on how the teams did the previous season.

In the first wave, the least successful teams from the prior season go first so that they can get the better players and be more successful the next season. The next wave would be the teams that made the play offs, once again ranking on their performance. The final wave is the two teams who made the super bowl, who ever lost it the 31^st pick and the winning team gets the 32^nd pick. This system was created so that the good teams don’t get overpowered and the bad teams don’t stay bad.

Every year teams start out with the option of 7 picks but can trade out their spots for earlier selections. Texans traded their first pick with the Cleveland Browns and selected the much anticipated star quarterback from Clemson, Deshaun Watson. This pick should be a really good addition to the Texans given their most recent years of poor quarterbacks. Here is a list of the rest of the Texans NFL 2017 draft:
