The Houston Texans have the whole board open to them in Round 1 of the 2023 NFL draft thanks to their extra selection. Even with the Chicago Bears possessing No. 1 overall, the Texans’ picks at Nos. 2 and 12 — and a total of 12 picks in the draft — provide for the chance to build a package to get up to the top spot.
According to Josh Edwards from CBS Sports, the Texans trade up to No. 1 overall to take Alabama quarterback Bryce Young. The specifics of the trade package aren’t revealed, but somehow the Texans are able to get up to No. 2 overall without having to part with their extra Round 1 selection. The Texans use that pick to take Oregon cornerback Christian Gonzalez.
