The Houston Texans knocked it out of the park on the first night of the 2023 NFL draft.
Houston picked Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud with the No. 2 overall pick, and then traded up with the Arizona Cardinals to the very next selection to take Alabama defensive end Will Anderson.
For Texans fans, there is no better high than what happened on Thursday night.
However, the rest of the draft carries on, and the Texans still have 10 selections remaining, including two third-rounders.
According to Chris Trapasso from CBS Sports, the best Day 2 selections for the Texans at Nos. 65 and 73 overall would be center John Michael Schmitz from Minnesota and tight end Zach Kuntz from Old Dominion.
The Texans’ tight end room is seemingly full with Dalton Schultz, Teagan Quitoriano, and Brevin Jordan. Adding Kuntz would bring even more competition to the position.
Schmitz would fill a need the Texans have at center. Currently they have two veterans with Scott Quessenberry and Michael Deiter. Schmitz would also challenge for the position and could have a higher ceiling than Quessenberry and Deiter.
