    The NFL draft has finally arrived. What could the Houston Texans do with the 25th pick in the first round? A lot will depend on how the first few picks go.

    The first day of the NFL draft could be a big one for former Houston area high school football stars. Three locals (Miami quarterback Cam Ward, Texas offensive lineman Kelvin Banks and Texas receiver Matthew Golden) are virtual locks to be first-round picks and a fourth (Ohio State’s Donovan Jackson) also has a shot to go on the first day. That would be a record-tying day for the area, which has never had more than four players go in the first round of the same draft.

    Jalen Hurts has stamped himself as a Super Bowl champion and the first Super Bowl MVP from the Houston area, but there still are some losses he took at Channelview High School that burn inside him.
