The intrigue was always going to begin with the Houston Texans.
For the first time since 2000, the same NFL team selected the second and third overall picks in the NFL draft.
General manager Nick Caserio knows the price was still steep. To trade up from No. 12 to No. 3, Caserio dealt 2024 first- and third-round picks. He surrendered his 33rd pick this weekend for the 105th. The Texans decided: Rather than wait another year to find a cornerstone on one side of the ball, they’d begin their culture-setting process in earnest now. In Ryan’s first year, Stroud and Anderson will help establish the culture their head coach wants. Entering Caserio’s third year, he’ll look for the first-round duo to shore up his job security after four- and three-win seasons in his first two campaigns.
“We’re not going to put any labels, we’re not going to put any timetables on anybody,” Caserio said. “We’re about consistent, purposeful work trying to build a program that’s sustainable over time. Caserio, meanwhile, did not hail his draft picks as saviors or even solutions. He acknowledged Stroud’s accuracy, leadership and competitiveness; Anderson’s production and pride; both of their mental and physical toughness.
