There is no favorite for the Texans.
Days after the conclusion of the NFL Scouting Combine, the mock drafts from around the worldwide web are split on who Houston will select at third overall in the 2022 NFL Draft.
From 50 of the more prominent mock drafts, Oregon defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux was tabbed by 11 different mockers to the Texans. He was followed by Alabama offensive lineman Evan Neal with 10, and Notre Dame safety Kyle Hamilton with nine. Seven mock drafts saw the Texans taking NC State offensive lineman Ikem Ekwonu with the third pick, while Michigan defensive end Aidan Hutchinson came to Houston in six differnt mock drafts.
Georgia defensive end Travon Walker made his first appearance in the Mock Draft Tracker, as a strong Combine performance saw him surge with five mockers tabbing him to the Texans. Michigan defensive end David Ojabo also made his first appearances in the tracker, and Ole Miss quarterback Matt Corral was the lone signal-caller mocked to the Texans. Both Corral and Ojabo appeared in one mock draft apiece for Houston.
College Pro Days have begun, and will continue through the early part of April.
The NFL Draft begins Thursday, April 28 in Las Vegas. Houston owns nine selections total, and four in the top 80. In January, General Manager Nick Caserio said whether or not the Texans stayed at third overall was a "whole separate discussion."
