Got a question about the Texans?
Life in general?
Drew Dougherty's your guy.
He's been with the Texans since 2009 and is chock full of meaningful, as well as generally useless, information. Fire away by clicking HERE.
Robert Loughney: Dear Drew, How many draft picks do we now have this year?
DD: Seven. The Texans have the 25th overall selection, a second-rounder, two picks in the third round, a fifth-rounder and a pair of seventh-round selections.
| ROUND |
|---|
| 1 (25TH OVERALL) |
| 2 (58TH OVERALL) |
| 3 (79TH OVERALL, FROM WASHINGTON) |
| 3 (89TH OVERALL) |
| 5 (166TH OVERALL, FROM BUFFALO) |
| 7 (236TH OVERALL, FROM WASHINGTON) |
| 7 (241ST) |
Bobby Scaratini: Dear Drew, Are there any players working out in the building right now?
DD: Yes sir. Every offseason, there are dozens of players who cycle through the building for workouts, rehab treatments, food and other activities. That's the case this year as well. The official Offseason Conditioning Program begins on Monday, April 14 at NRG Stadium.
Melinda Gentry: Dear Drew, I don't think the Texans have done enough to fix the offensive line. Do you?
DD: It's March 19, Melinda. The job isn't finished yet. There's still a long way to go in free agency, we haven't seen who they'll draft, and Executive Vice President/General Manager Nick Caserio has never been hesitant in using trades as options to bolster the roster. Let's see what unfolds over the next couple months.
Rico Mendoza: Dear Drew, Do you think Derek Stingley, Jr. is the greatest cornerback in franchise history?
DD: Thanks for the question, Rico. Not yet, but there's still plenty of time. I think his 2024 season is the greatest for a Texans cornerback. He was a First Team All-Pro, becoming the first corner in franchise history to earn that honor. But to answer your question, I think Johnathan Joseph's longevity and excellence give him the Goat status for Texans cornerbacks. In his nine years with the club, he rang up the most interceptions, most pick-6's, and went to a Pro Bowl. But if Sting keeps playing the way he has, we'll re-visit the discussion.
