The two highest graded NFLDraft picks from ScottDochterman so far? ◽️ Will Anderson Jr. to the Texans: A ◽️ Jalen Carter to the Eagles: A
The Texans ranked last in yards per play and 31st in total offense last season. Houston needed a quarterback, and after significant posturing and speculation, the Texans did the smartest thing possible: they drafted a quarterback and it was the right one.
Much was made about C.J. Stroud’s lack of running ability, but that’s somewhat overrated because he could do far more damage through the air. Stroud posted national highs in touchdowns and yards per attempt while completing 66.3 percent of his throws. At Ohio State, Stroud was surrounded by some of the best receivers in college football history, and he let them make plays.
Stroud has great touch, and the Texans now can build around him. Though the Houston brass might have preferred a defender for defensive-minded head coach DeMeco Ryans, drafting Stroud is a step in the right direction. And they didn’t wait to get defensive help, either.Now that’s what we call gutsy, and it’s fantastic. The Texans appeared to waver between taking a franchise quarterback and a defensive pillar at No. 2.
