Some starting traditions don’t change. The Summer Olympics begin with the lighting of the torch, a Star Wars film has an opening crawl, and 2023 NFL mock drafts have the Houston Texans taking Bryce Young No. 1 overall.
According to Doug Farrar from the Touchdown Wire, the Texans do nothing different in that regard as they nab the Alabama signal caller with their proprietary selection. However, the Texans use their No. 12 overall pick — thanks to an offseason trade with the Cleveland Browns — to take Ohio State receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba Smith.
