Nick Caserio and the Houston Texans have had a busy draft night. The Texans decided to hold on to the number-two overall pick and decided to draft a quarterback instead of a defensive player. The Texans drafted quarterback C.J. Stroud right after the Carolina Panthers selected Bryce Young.
Despite rumors that the Texans were expected to select a defensive prospect, they picked Stroud to be their next franchise quarterback. Stroud was 21-4 during his time at Ohio State and threw for 81 touchdowns in his career.
