Projecting the NFL draft is a complex web of intricately woven “what if” scenarios. One of the current webs being spun is a contrarian idea that the Houston Texans will opt to take a defensive standout with the No. 2 pick in the 2023 NFL draft instead of the widely expected choice of a quarterback.
It’s a thought exercise worth exploring, whether it’s based in reality or not. What if the Texans select Alabama EDGE Will Anderson (the most likely defensive candidate) at No. 2?
