Texans build for future in NFL draft with Stroud, Anderson

Associated Press  

HOUSTON — The day after C.J. “That’s all.” Many pundits believe the Texans won the 2023 draft with the addition of Stroud and Anderson. “We’re not going to solve anything in one draft, one player, one night,” Caserio said. “It’s going to take a series of actions over time with the right people, with the right mindset that believe in the things that we’re doing, that believe in what we’re trying to build, and then hopefully that will manifest itself on the field when we actually do play.” Stroud is poised to become the franchise quarterback Houston has lacked since Deshaun Watson requested a trade before being dealt to the Cleveland Browns. “But there’s certainly things that he’s going to have to work on.” Stroud, who was a two-year starter at Ohio State, isn’t daunted by the pressure of being the face of the team and the player expected to lead Houston back to respectability.
