Texans make 2-3 picks in NFL draft, first time since Washington in 2000

The Houston Texans moved up via trade with the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday to grab the third pick in the NFL draft.

That meant Houston had the second pick — Ohio State QB C.J. Stroud — and the next selection — Alabama OLB Will Anderson Jr.

The last time an NFL team had the second and third picks in an NFL draft?

Have to go back to 2000 when Washington chose LB LaVar Arrington out of Penn State and OL Chris Samuels from Alabama.

Samuels was a 6-time Pro Bowler. Arrington accomplished the feat three times.
