Nick Caserio is already wheeling and dealing.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Houston Texans and Cleveland Browns have made a trade involving Day 3 picks leading into the first round of Thursday’s draft. Houston will trade its 2025 fifth-round pick (166th overall) and a 2027 fifth-rounder to Cleveland in exchange for two 2025 sixth-rounders (179th and 216th overall) and a 2025 seventh-rounder (255th overall).
This isn’t the first time the Texans have made a trade with the Browns. Caserio might best be known for his swindling of the deal with Pro Bowl quarterback Deshaun Watson for three first-round picks, including the one to land defensive end Will Anderson Jr. in 2023.
The Texans now own nine picks in this year’s draft compared to the previous seven. Knowing Caserio, those picks will likely last for less than half of Thursday or Friday night.
