Texans Trade Up Past Ravens To Select Christian Harris

For the second time in the 2022 NFL Draft, the Texans made a move to slip up past the Ravens, this time selecting Alabama linebacker Christian Harris with the No. 75 overall pick. 

Harris has been Top-5 in the Crimson Tide’s defense for tackles each of the last three years. The 21-year-old racked up 27.0 tackles for loss and 10.0 sacks over his college career, adding 15 quarterback hurries and 3 forced fumbles along the way.

Harris was expected to be selected somewhere in the second round, so the Texans didn’t hesitate when they saw him inching ever closer to a Ravens team that certainly could use an upgrade at linebacker.

In order to acquire the Broncos No. 75 pick, the Texans had to part ways with their 80th (3rd round) pick and 162nd (5th round) pick.
