HOUSTON — The NFL Draft is Thursday, a chance for NFL teams to snatch up the very best in college football.
Last year, the Houston Texans made a splash in the draft by picking quarterback C.J. Stroud from Ohio State with the second overall pick. They then traded up in a deal with Arizona and got defensive end Will Anderson Jr. from Alabama with the third overall pick.
Those two ended up as the offensive and defensive NFL Rookies of the Year and led the team to its first playoff appearance since 2019.
