After the Texans selected C.J. Stroud with the No. 2 overall pick, they were back on the clock after trading up with the Cardinals to No. 3.
Anyone who believed that the Houston Texans would make the chalk pick of quarterback C.J. Stroud near the top of the NFL draft was proven right.
“I was juiced up and then I saw the [the city of Houston] and I knew it was rocking,” Stroud told reporters. “I wanted them to go get Will. The trade was surprising, but it was dope. I’m very excited for Will to be my teammate.” “I had a feeling this morning that I’m going to the Texans,” Stroud said. “I don’t care about the outside noise. I’m not going to be perfect.”
After selecting C.J. Stroud with the No. 2 pick, the Texans traded up to the No. 3 pick and selected Will Anderson .While Young should be a Week 1 starter in Carolina, Stroud might be forced to sit on the bench at first. The Texans still have Mills and veteran Case Keenum, and Caserio already shut down talk of a timetable for Stroud taking over.
