Il Draft di espansione della National Football League del 2002 è stato il più recente draft in cui una nuova squadra, gli Houston Texans, scelse i suoi primi giocatori. Il 6 ottobre 1999, ad Atlanta, i proprietari della NFL assegnarono unanimemente la trentaduesima squadra della lega e il Super Bowl XXXVIII alla città di Houston, Texas. Per poter rendere i Texans competitivi rispetto alle squadre esistenti, la lega assegnò ai Texans la prima scelta assoluta del Draft NFL 2002 e diede loro l'opportunità di scegliere giocatori dalle altre squadra. Quelle selezioni avvennero nell'expansion draft, tenuto il 18 febbraio 2002.

On October 6, 1999, in Atlanta, NFL owners had unanimously voted to award the 32nd NFL franchise and Super Bowl XXXVIII to the city of Houston, Texas. In order for the Texans to become competitive with existing teams, the league awarded them the first pick in the 2002 NFL Draft and gave them the opportunity to select current players from existing teams. That selection was provided by the expansion draft, held on February 18, 2002.

The 2002 National Football League expansion draft is the most recent National Football League (NFL) draft in which a new expansion team, named the Houston Texans, selected its first players. On October 6, 1999, in Atlanta, NFL owners had unanimously voted to award the 32nd NFL franchise and Super Bowl XXXVIII to the city of Houston, Texas. In order for the Texans to become competitive with existing teams, the league awarded them the first pick in the 2002 NFL Draft and gave them the opportunity to select current players from existing teams. That selection was provided by the expansion draft, held on February 18, 2002. In this draft, held months before the regular draft, the existing franchises listed players from which the Texans could select to switch to the new team. This was the third expansion draft after the NFL had instituted the salary cap, which limited the total amount teams could spend on their roster of players. Teams placed many quality players on the list who had large contracts, as the Texans were required to assume the contracts of those players if selected. The list included 155 NFL players, 25 of whom were Pro Bowl players. The draft took place live and aired on ESPN. The Texans drafted a total of 19 players. They selected three players with a total salary-cap value of $14.9 million from the Jacksonville Jaguars, who were $23 million over the cap; three players with a total salary-cap value of $14.1 million from the New York Jets, who were $16 million over the cap; and two players with a total salary-cap value of $7.1 million from the Baltimore Ravens, who were $23 million over the cap.

Un total de 155 joueurs sont disponibles à la sélection, la plupart d'entre eux ont une faible valeur dans la ligue, un contrat onéreux ou des problèmes de blessure. Animés par la volonté de construire une ligne offensive de qualité pour leur avenir quarterback, les Texans sélectionnent Tony Boselli avec le premier choix de la draft d'expansion. L'ancien offensive tackle gauche vedette des Jaguars de Jacksonville, distingué par cinq apparitions au Pro Bowl, a le potentiel d'être l'un des meilleurs protecteurs de la ligue. Contraint par les blessures à rester sur la touche, il ne joue jamais sous le maillot des Texans. Le deuxième choix, Ryan Young, n'apporte guère plus à la ligne offensive. Malgré ces deux échecs marquants, la franchise ajoute à son effectif plusieurs cadres défensifs de qualité comme Aaron Glenn, Gary Walker et Jamie Sharper qui embellissent le bilan mitigé des Texans.
