Houston Texans Draft: Past Trade Packages for the 25th Pick

Evaluating what Houston can receive for their first round pick.

With free agency all but in the books, the big trades completed, and the NFL Draft fast approaching, the complexion of the Houston Texans offseason will come into full view very soon.

The Texans only have seven picks in the 2025 NFL Draft, which leaves them with minimal agility to move throughout the draft. The best way to add draft equity is by trading the first pick; whether that be to move forward or backwards in the draft. There have been 10 trades in the past 10 drafts with the 25th pick. This gives us a clear vantage point to evaluate what draft capital the Texans could acquire by trading with the 25th pick.

Here is every trade over the past two decades involving the 25th pick. Most trades, especially the more recent ones, involve micro-moves within the first round and Day Three draft capital. It’s extremely intriguing to see how the league values the first round over time.
