The Houston Texans made significant strides in the 2025 NFL draft, welcoming nine new players, which includes five offensive talents aimed at enhancing their gameplay. The team strategically maneuvered within the draft, securing four picks in the top 100 while also acquiring a future third-round pick for 2026. New offensive coordinator Nick Caley, alongside head coach DeMeco Ryans, expressed confidence in drafting players who fit a specific skill set that aligns with their vision.

Among the highlights, Iowa State's wide receivers Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel are expected to bolster the receiving corps alongside quarterback C.J. Stroud. Aireontae Ersery from Minnesota is projected to be the long-term solution at tackle, potentially replacing Laremy Tunsil. Meanwhile, Iowa's tight end Luke Lachey aims to provide reliable blocking and depth behind Dalton Schultz as the Texans look to solidify their offensive front for the upcoming season.
