The Houston Texans made quite the splash on Day 1 of the 2023 NFL draft.
The Texans used their proprietary No. 2 overall selection to take Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud. Then, the Texans packaged No. 12 overall along with their second-rounder (No. 33 overall) and other picks to take Alabama defensive end Will Anderson with the Arizona Cardinals’ No. 3 pick. As part of the deal, the Texans also got back the Cardinals’ No. 105 overall choice in Round 4.
