The Texans did something in the 2025 NFL draft that no other team did: They traded all their original picks, and used only picks that they had acquired in trades.

Graham attributed his Combine weight to being hungry and dehydrated at the time he stepped on the scale in Indianapolis and said he's at a healthy weight right now.
