Every offseason, the NFL awards compensatory draft picks to teams who essentially lost more than they gained in free agency in the previous year. Comp picks are awarded beginning at the end of the third round.

Following a 24-13 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday afternoon at Arrowhead Stadium, the Texans will select 25th overall in the 2025 draft. At 10-7, Houston had the worst record of any team remaining team, cementing the franchise with the lowest pick remaining.

It would seem that the Houston Texans hit a couple of home runs in 2023 when they hired head coach DeMeco Ryans and drafted quarterback C.J. Stroud.
