There’s a moment that comes around when you start watching the NFL Draft that I think every football fan who watches the draft has.

Everybody’s in a good mood, they’ve all finished booing Roger Goodell (for good reason) and now we’re a couple of picks in. The first couple blow past quickly because everyone and their mother knew the Raiders were going to take [we’re going to assume Fernando Mendoza]. So it’s pick three and you’re waiting for them to make their pick; then you decide to see just how far down the list, if you don’t know already, when your favorite team is going to pick.

You keep scrolling…and scrolling…and scrolling…until you find your team—way at the end of the round. So you start doing mental math to figure out when the Houston Texans will make their pick; then you get sick of it because you were told there’d be no math involved.

The NFL Draft starts tonight at 7 p.m. CDT with each pick taking roughly eight minutes to make, meaning the Texans’ estimated pick time (assuming nobody goes full Vikings and misses two picks in a row) for the 28th pick is about 10:44 p.m. CDT.

Nobody expects the Texans to go come out of this draft with the same number of picks or in the same slots they currently possess, that’s half the fun of watching the draft. The other half is watching it with your fellow Texans fans here at BRB.
