Find it fascinating Texans are taking polar opposite approach in attacking 2024 draft class than the 2023 NFL draft class. Going big & using a ton of draft capital to move up #2 to grab Will Anderson (glad they did) to trading down from first round (somewhat facilitated by fact they used last years 2nd on Anderson) yet same time not waiting around to see is exactly available #23 (my hope is it’s not a top 15 graded player @ position of need, Byron Murphy, Quinyon Mitchell or Byron Thomas) I’ll be sick. Odds are stacked against it but you just never know. Now we can focus on 2nd rd graded players, knowing Texans will have two 2nds again next year.

Every year the draft board is different, and I think this is Houston's way of positioning themselves to target a set of players. Good stuff Wesley.

Appreciate your work. All this knowledge you bestow upon us makes the fans more informed, better educated. My other big takeaway, besides this being an even deeper draft class into the 3rd rd than last year, Caserio is building platform for longevity and continued success managing key players salaries while identifying every angle and opportunity that comes along. I’m down with that!
