The Houston Texans surpassed all expectations in 2023. After a 3-13 season, they were led by a rookie head coach, and the team started a rookie quarterback, yet they went 10-7 and make the playoffs. It could be argued that they had the best draft in 2023, and they will be looking to do the same thing again in 2024. The team will be able to address a number of different needs and free agency. They go into the 2024 off season with almost $58 million in cap space. Whatever needs they don't address through free agency will have to be addressed in the draft. This mock draft was done without anticipating who they would sign, and just tries to address their needs with college players. The team has eight picks in the draft, and since this draft was done without any trades, the Texans will select where they are scheduled to via Pro Football Focus (23, 59, 85, 123, 127, 164, 239, and 248).
