The Houston Texans have moved up in the second round of the NFL Draft, striking a deal with the Las Vegas Raiders to acquire the No. 36 overall pick, per @RapSheet.
According to reports, the Texans are trading up to the fourth pick of the second round to secure a selection early in the night's proceedings. The Raiders, who originally held the selection, are trading out of the spot as the draft board continues to shift. This move allows Houston to jump ahead of several teams to land a high-priority prospect at the start of Day 2.
The specific trade terms and the draft capital sent from the Houston Texans to the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for the No. 36 pick have not yet been officially confirmed. This trade marks a significant shift in the early second-round order as teams look to capitalize on remaining talent following the conclusion of the first round.
The Texans have been active in seeking upgrades, and this move signals a clear intent to secure a specific player identified by the front office. Further details on the pick selection and the full trade compensation will be provided as they become available from the league.
