When the NFL draft begins later this month, the Texans are widely expected to take a quarterback at No. 2 overall. However, after the Panthers traded up to the No. 1 pick, Houston will likely end up with the second quarterback off the board.
The Texans might be using that to their advantage. According to NFL Network’s James Palmer, Houston has narrowed it down to two possible selections: Alabama’s Bryce Young and Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud.
“The Texans have the mindset right now of ‘Let’s see who gets picked at No. 1 and we’ll take the other guy, because both of them check a lot of boxes,” Palmer said. “It’s really down to the two of them, and they’re evaluating both of them.”
