The New England Patriots had two 5th round picks (No.158 and No.170) and the Texans had three 6th-rounders (No.183, No. 205, and No. 207).
The specifics here, per source:
The Texans receive pick 170.

Field Yates is reporting that the Texans will receive pick 170, and the Pats will receive picks 183 and 245.
This trade helps the Texans, as they did not have a pick in the 5th round before the trade. The Texans now have a pick in every round except the 7th, and have multiple picks in the 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 6th rounds.
In this episode, we break down the decision to bring rookie Cam Smith up to the Houston Astros big league roster — just 96 plate appearances into his major league journey.
Was it the right call, or a move made out of desperation due to the early-season outfield situation? We dive into the context of the Kyle Tucker trade, the uncertainty surrounding the outfield to start the year, and whether Cam Smith was truly ready — or if the Astros may have rushed a top prospect before he was fully developed.
