What hurts the Houston Texans about not having the No. 1 overall pick is they don’t control their own destiny in the 2023 NFL draft. The Texans are at the mercy of what the Chicago Bears do first.
One theory that has been floating around, chiefly due to the morning opinion shows that are as contrived and scripted as pro wrestling, is that the Bears would be open to trading quarterback Justin Fields so they can take their choice of Alabama’s Bryce Young or Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud, which would leave the Texans picking the leftovers.
