After spending several seasons in purgatory\u00a0after trading QB Deshaun Watson, things are looking up for the Texans. Houston claimed their first division title and first playoff victory since 2019, led by star rookie quarterback CJ Stroud. Now, the Texans will be looking slick in 2024 with brand new uniforms.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A look at the Texans\u2019 new uniforms, the first time they have changed them since they came into the league in 2002: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/y0bCDcclyd\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/y0bCDcclyd<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AdamSchefter\/status\/1782814784385073455?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">April 23, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The Texans recently revealed a complete redesign of their jerseys.

One post on social media leaked the new H-Town alternate helmet, and another from Texans\u2019 CEO Cal McNair wearing the H-Town hat with his dog. McNair also dropped a photo of\u00a0Nico Collins\u00a0and Tank Dell in the teams\u2019 new white uniforms on Reddit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"ac_85253622\">\n<p>\u201cToday, for the first time since 2000, we are so proud to reveal our new uniforms. They are even more special because they are inspired by and for our fans,\u201d\u00a0McNair said in a statement. \u201cOur fans asked us to be more H-Town and we delivered. They were with us every step of the way and there\u2019s truly something for everyone over the four uniforms.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Who will\u00a0Houston Texans\u00a0select in the 2024 NFL Draft?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"ac_85253623\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Houston-Texans-coach-DeMeco-Ryans-speaks-at-a-press-conference-during-the-NFL-Scouting-Combine-at-Indiana-Convention-Center.jpg\" \/>Houston Texans coach DeMeco Ryans speaks at a press conference during the NFL Scouting Combine at Indiana Convention Center.\u00a0\u00a9 Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"ac_85253624\">\n<p>Houston will not have a first-round pick to work with this year. The Texans recently traded their first-round pick (#23 overall) to the Minnesota Vikings for a second-round pick (#42 overall), a sixth-round pick (#188 overall), and a second-round pick next year. While Houston is sacrificing the ability to choose in the first round, they gain the ability to take multiple players in the middle rounds. Considering how deep this year\u2019s draft class is, that could turn out to be a very smart move.<\/p>\n<p>The Houston Texans own the following picks in the 2024 NFL Draft:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Second round (#42 overall) via Minnesota<\/li>\n<li>Second round (#59 overall)<\/li>\n<li>Third round (#86 overall) via Philadelphia<\/li>\n<li>Fourth round (#123 overall) via Cleveland<\/li>\n<li>Fourth round (#127 overall)<\/li>\n<li>Sixth round (#188 overall) via Minnesota<\/li>\n<li>Seventh round (#238 overall) via New Orleans<\/li>\n<li>Seventh round (#247 overall)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Defense should be a priority for the Texans, especially the secondary. Derek Stingley Jr. has been a solid corner but hasn\u2019t lived up to his loft draft stock. Jalen Pitre has also been solid at safety but is nowhere near a gamechanger. Aside from these young players, Houston has nobody else in their secondary who should be a part of the team\u2019s long-term vision. Thankfully there should be several good cornerback prospects still on the board in the second round.<\/p>\n<p>The Texans could also stand to add depth on the offensive line, particularly on the interior. Houston\u2019s offensive is loaded with talent around a young QB, so reinforcing the offensive line could turn the Texans into an absolute nightmare to defend.<\/p>\n<p>Texans fans will get their answer this weekend as the 2024 NFL Draft kicks off on Thursday night in Detroit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has never been a better time to be a\u00a0fan of the Houston Texans.
