The Houston Texans had an exceptional first day during the 2023 NFL draft. The team drafted QB C.J. Stroud second overall and linebacker Will Anderson Jr. third overall.

The Texans were allocated the 2nd overall pick which they used to draft the talented Buckeyes QB. However, they had to trade up to acquire the services of Anderson Jr.

The Houston based-team took everyone by surprise when they traded up spots with the Arizona Cardinals to acquire the linebacker. Their HC DeMeco Ryans had also shown a desire to draft a franchise QB and also build a strong foundation for defense. It seems like both of those concerns are handled for now.

Even Shannon Sharpe was impressed with the Texans’ draft approach and raved about them on the ‘Undisputed’. Sharpe believes that the Texans conducted great business and drafted players like C.J. Stroud and Will Anderson Jr. that have no red flags and can turn out to be perfect signings for them.

“You have to have a QB that can compete with Trevor Lawrence and someone that can put his butt on the ground. They got both, I grade them a solid A,” Shannon Sharpe stated on the Undisputed.

Sharpe also believes that Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson has played an important part in this massive trade. On the other hand, the Texans also have the 1st overall pick for the 2024 NFL draft.

C.J. Stroud and Will Anderson Jr. have the potential to be the best draft picks of the 2023 NFL draft. Both players are sensational on the field. Most importantly, they also have no red flags off the field. They are just great youngsters who are committed to their work.

Shannon Sharpe applauded both Stroud and Anderson Jr. for their mentality and their off-the-field endeavors. The Undisputed host was also impressed with Texans HC DeMeco Ryans, who’s just been in charge of his first NFL team.

The Texans have failed to perform in the league for many years now. However, now it seems like the tides may be turning in Houston as they have just had a great draft year. Not only that, they are also building a young team who will be able to fight for many years in the future if kept intact.

C.J. Stroud is undoubtedly the second-best QB from the draft and Will Anderson Jr. is regarded as the best defensive player in the draft by many. Therefore, it’s safe to assume that the Texans hit a jackpot this year.
