The Texans Traded Up for CJ Stroud

"I don't think it was a good trade, but let me try to like spin it. They traded up so they could draft CJ Stroud and Will Anderson." "If we find out at some point that this was basically the product of Tamiko Ryan's being like, look, I'm happy to have my long term commitment to be the coach here," he says. The Texans' roster is just not in a place where they're going to be a super competitive team. Barring C.J. Stroud turning out to be like the second coming of whatever, there won't be much discussion next year.
