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.
With general manager Nick Caserio wheeling and dealing on the first night of the draft, here is a look at the Texans’ updated order:
Round 3 — Nos. 65, 73
Round 4 — Nos. 104, 105
Round 5 — No. 161
Round 6 — Nos. 188, 201, 203
Round 7 — Nos. 203, 259
