Following a 24-13 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday afternoon at Arrowhead Stadium, the Texans will select 25th overall in the 2025 draft. At 10-7, Houston had the worst record of any team remaining team, cementing the franchise with the lowest pick remaining.

After their loss to the Chiefs on Saturday, the Texans—one of two 10–7 teams to make the divisional round—are locked in at the No. 25 pick in the 2025 draft. Even if the Los Angeles Rams (10–7) lose to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, Houston will remain at No. 25 because they have a lower strength of schedule (.481) than the Rams (.505).

It would seem that the Houston Texans hit a couple of home runs in 2023 when they hired head coach DeMeco Ryans and drafted quarterback C.J. Stroud.
