As of Thursday night, the Houston Texans<\/a> own the 38th overall pick in Round 2, but given general manager Nick Caserio, a trade could already be in the works.<\/p>\n

The Texans\u00a0are coming off an\u00a0NFL Draft\u00a0a year ago, where they technically landed three starters on Day 2. Jayden Higgins ended up becoming a quality No. 2 receiver while Tay Ersery started every game at either left or right tackle. Jaylin Noel rotated in between reps in the slot and outside, but saw most of his success come on special teams.<\/p>\n

All three selections were made within the first 80 picks. As of now, Houston has four picks in the top 70, including three on Day 2.<\/p>\n

Throughout the past two decades, teams haven’t had the most amount of success with pick No. 38. Most players have either underperformed or been transformed into nothing more than depth pieces on different teams.<\/p>\n

Here’s every player drafted 59th overall since 2006<\/p>\n

Expert NFL picks: Exclusive betting insights only at USA TODAY.<\/a>\"Oct2020-20252020 – New York Jets: WR Denzel Mims2021 – Carolina Panthers: WR Terrace Marshall2022 – Minnesota Vikings: OL Ed Ingram2023 – Buffalo Bills: OL O’Cyrus Torrance2024 – Houston Texans: OT Blake Fisher2025 – Baltimore Ravens: EDGE Mike Green<\/p>\n

Well, there are two Texans on the list. Ingram never found his footing in Minnesota, but he graded out as one of the league’s best interior run blockers last season as Houston secured its first 12-win season since 2012. He was rewarded with a three-year deal, keeping him in Houston through 2028. Fisher, who was once viewed as a potential starting right tackle, served as the swing option as the “blocking tight end” that would report as eligible.<\/p>\n

For the rest of the group, Mims and Marshall are two of the bigger busts in their draft classes, with the former already being out of the league. Torrance is one of the more stable interior linemen and could be up for a new deal this offseason in Buffalo.<\/p>\n

\"Nov2010-20192010: Cleveland Browns: RB Montario Hardesty\u00a02011: Cleveland Browns: WR Greg Little2012: Philadelphia Eagles: DE Vinny Curry2013: New England Patriots: WR Aaron Dobson2014: Indianapolis Colts: OT Jack Mewhort2015: Denver Broncos: OT Ty Sambrailo\u00a02016: Tampa Bay Buccaneers: PK Roberto Aguayo\u00a02017: Kansas City Chiefs: DE Tanoh Kpassagnon2018: Washington Commanders: RB Derrius Guice2019: Indianapolis Colts: WR Parris Campbell<\/p>\n

Nearly every player was either a bust or a role player. Guice had a promising future with Washington before legal troubles took him out of the league and ended his career. Campbell looked like a decent secondary receiver, but injuries eventually led to him becoming a secondary element on other teams.<\/p>\n

Sambralio and Mewhort never met their expectations despite starting several seasons. Aguayo, whom Tampa Bay traded up for, might go down as one of the worst picks of all-time since he only lasted one season in Pewter Town. Really? A kicker in the top 60?!?!<\/p>\n

\"Nov2006-20092006: Tampa Bay Buccaneers: OT Jeremy Trueblood2007: Carolina Panthers: OL Ryan Kalil2008: Indianapolis Colts: OL Mike Pollack2009: Carolina Panthers: CB Sherrod Martin<\/p>\n

Kalil was one of the best centers in the 2000s. A five-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro, Kalil was the anchor of Carolina’s offensive line for over 12 years before eventually closing out his career with the New York Jets in 2019. As for everyone else? They barely made impacts in the pros.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"April 21, 2026, 8:59 p.m. CT As of Thursday night, the Houston Texans own the 38th overall pick…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":871722,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2056],"tags":[95878,7,221,253,2368,6,96520,96521,95882,97087,118133,95953,96682,95896,95888,96683,96685,95895,96681,96686,96680,96687,96684,95899,118132,96177,96008,95883,97274,222,95881],"class_list":{"0":"post-871721","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-houston-texans","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-houston","11":"tag-houston-texans","12":"tag-houstontexans","13":"tag-nfl","14":"tag-sstssportsnfltexans","15":"tag-sstsntexans","16":"tag-tagamerican-football","17":"tag-tagbreaking-news-social","18":"tag-tagdenzel-mims","19":"tag-taghouston-texans","20":"tag-tagmadden-nfl","21":"tag-tagnational-sports","22":"tag-tagnfl","23":"tag-tagnfl-draft","24":"tag-tagnfl-films","25":"tag-tagnfl-hub","26":"tag-tagnfl-junkies","27":"tag-tagnfl-mvp","28":"tag-tagnfl-overreactions","29":"tag-tagnfl-playoffs","30":"tag-tagnfl-scouting-combine","31":"tag-tagoverall-neutral","32":"tag-tagparris-campbell","33":"tag-tagsmg-breaking-wire","34":"tag-tagsmg-listicle","35":"tag-tagsports-news","36":"tag-tagttp-listicle","37":"tag-texans","38":"tag-typestory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/871721","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=871721"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/871721\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/871722"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=871721"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=871721"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=871721"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
