Take Anderson at 2 and figure out a way to move up from 12 to take AR.
No comment on Lance I guess?bilbobag said:

Levis is moving up the odds to go #2 now FWIW.
Wilson and Levis both +150 on DK
Levis is +125 and the favorite now on Fanduel, Wilson 2nd fav at +250

I don't like that at all, mainly because draft picks are opportunities to fill holes. The fewer you have, the fewer holes you fill. HOU needs picks.

That's a big hell no, this draft has been referred to as devoid of true blue chip prospects outside of maybe 1 or 2 players. I like DJ, but even in a mock why would you burn draft capital in a draft that is very heavy In the middle to move up and have two picks in the top 3 in the weakest top 10 in a long time?
That 33rd is too valuable to let go that easy.
One more day!
It's just fun to care again
Today will be an interesting day likely full of rumors and speculation. Should be fun. HOU has had a pretty good off season so far, hope it continues.
Aaron Wilson: (tl;dr) Texans are out on Stroud, Levis & Richardson, in on Hooker, questionable on Anderson, maybe in on Wilson

With Young unavailable to acquire, the Texans may indeed pass on a quarterback with their second overall pick.
The Texans have evaluated and considered Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud for months, including hosting him for a visit at NRG Stadium, interviewing him at the NFL scouting combine and scouting his campus Pro Day workout. Stroud excelled for the Buckeyes, but he isn't the Texans' first choice at quarterback as he ranked behind Young on their draft board and other NFL teams seeking a quarterback.
Multiple sources anticipate the Texans opting to go with a defensive end instead of Stroud with those opinions echoed throughout the past month and this week.
One league source notered Wednesday night that the Texans have conducted significant due diligence in recent days and weeks about Stroud and have debated the merits of potentially drafting him. They have also discussed, should they not pick Stroud, how they might obtain a quarterback in the draft or via a trade given the wide gamut of opinions on Stroud, a tall, strong-armed pocket passer who showed some ability to go off-script during an impressive performance against Georgia's elite defense.
If the Texans were to draft Stroud, sources emphasized, it would be considered a major surprise at this point and a departure from the direction they've been headed in during the latter stages of the draft process.
Where will Stroud wind up if the Texans don't pick him? The Tennessee Titans are exploring a potential trade up to the Arizona Cardinals' third overall selection with Stroud their target, according to league sources.
Contrary to speculation, including an unfounded Reddit rumor, the Texans are not expected to draft Kentucky quarterback Will Levis at No. 2 or No. 12, per sources. And the Texans didn't conduct a visit or private workout with Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson and are not expected to draft him, per sources.
The Texans do have a high opinion of Tennessee quarterback Hendon Hooker, per sources. Hooker visited them directly after the NFL scouring combine, and might not be available for their 33rd overall pick in the second round. Hooker is ahead of schedule in his recovery from a torn anterior cruciate ligament and is expected to be able to practice in some capacity by August and play at some point this season. The highest spot for Hooker might go in the first round, per sources, would be the Minnesota Vikings' No. 23 overall pick.
Although the Texans have a strong comfort zone with Anderson, who visited them, the Seattle Seahawks and Detroit Lions, from a football and character standpoint, there are legitimate questions about whether his ceiling is high enough to justify the pick.
The two-time consensus All-American and Southeastern Conference Defensive Player of the Year is regarded as more of a pure fit as a stand-up 3-4 outside linebacker rather than a classic 4-3 defensive end who plays with his hand in the dirt.
Those factors are why the Texans have contemplated drafting Texas Tech defensive end Tyree Wilson.
That's a decent write up that isn't just throwing shlt up against the wall.
Sounds like they could go a number of different directions.
This feels like a weak draft at the top and I dont feel strongly about many guys.
Rooting for chaos and mayhem.

So, to summarize, the Texans don't like anyone but Bryce Young.
Guess they shouldn't have blown that #1 pick, huh?

Pretty much my thoughts
Sounds to me that they would REALLY like to trade out.
The smoke on Levi is dying down around the NFL in general and could fall.
I wonder if Baltimore tries to move Lamar to get one of these QB's, let's say Anthony Richardson. The relationship between Lamar and the Ravens organization isn't good and they don't want to pay him the amount he wants. Now would be a good time to move him.

Today the hints about maybe taking Bijan at 2 might convince the teams talking to ArIzona to switch to Houston. Once the Panthers turn in the card with Young, things could get a little crazy, I think at this point the Texans will have their card ready but will use all their time on the phone regarding trades. Their card will read Tyree Wilson tho it may not be turned in until a later pick. Or maybe the Panthers go another direction and it reads Bryce Young and is turned in. Should be fun.
I mean, even if they did have the #1 pick, I'm still not sold on Bryce Young's sizeand, frankly, the number of losses Alabama had the past couple of years.
OK, I'm starting to get on board with Bijan at #12, and just calling him an athlete instead of a RB in the Deebo mold. He's one of the rare blue chip instant starters in this draft and we have an offense that loves crazy versatile players who we can get the ball to in multiple ways.
For those wondering, check out the draft profiles of the two

This is true. They did have an extreme limiting factor and his face has a butt for a chin.

Life is better with a beagle
Texans are not taking a QB in the first round. And I'm good with that.
What's your solution at QB?
Who knows. Just don't think any of the supposed first round QBs besides Young are worth it.
there is only one right move.
take notes from the baseball team that plays on Crawford.
you tank AGAIN. lose 16 games. who gives a sh*t if you get made fun of.
draft Caleb Williams next year.
so many "experts" saying "you really going to play Davis Mills again??"
yeah..we are.
winning a superbowl is all that matters. tank all the way. suffer one more year then go for it all.
I would take a WR in the first round this year (at 12), get him ready before the QB comes in. thats how I would do it anyways.

2) Will Anderson Jr., OLB, Alabama
I struggled with what to do here. Are the Texans really going to pass up a quarterback here? Will they trot out Davis Mills again next season? Could they find a veteran passer via trade (or take one with their other first-rounder?) I'm hearing Houston will take an edge rusher, either Anderson or Tyree Wilson (Texas Tech), unless it throws everyone a curveball. I like Anderson much more than Wilson, and that's the direction I'd go.
12) Anthony Richardson, QB, Florida
I'm going to re-do some of this mock draft based on new intel, and it starts with Richardson to Houston. If he makes it to No. 12, I think he could be the pick. The Texans could get their edge rusher and their quarterback in the top 12.

Dane Brugler
2. Houston Texans: Will Anderson Jr.
This is really where the draft starts. Will the Texans take a quarterback or defensive cornerstone? And which player? My guess is they pass on the passer and take the player who dominated the SEC the past three seasons.
12. Houston Texans (via CLE): Will Levis, QB, Kentucky
There has been plenty of noise that Levis could be the pick at No. 2 for the Texans, which would be a big shock. Here it would make more sense.
Quote:
Peter Schrager
2. Will Anderson Jr. - I've wavered between Anderson, Tyree Wilson and C.J. Stroud in this slot. At the end of the day, the Texans need talent all over. I've been told by an NFL general manager that Anderson is the "safest" pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, and rebuilding Houston can't go wrong with that. The back-to-back reigning SEC Defensive Player of the Year is also an amazing kid off the field. DeMeco Ryans' Texans are poised to run a ball-control offense. If they don't absolutely love a QB, they don't need to take one here. Anderson is the pick in my final mock, despite hearing -- and saying -- plenty about Wilson at No. 2 over the past month. Ugh!
Has Texans trading 12 to Seattle for 20 & 52
20. Jordan Addison - I'll put Addison here, knowing that any of the WR-needy teams outside the top 20 could be coming up to get him. I don't think Addison escapes the top 20, though. The Texans need a WR almost as much as they need a QB. I've been told receiver might be the pick at No. 12 if they stay there. Yes, Houston could indeed close Thursday night without a new quarterback.
Quote:
Daniel Jeremiah
2. C.J. Stroud - There is a lot of information swirling around this pick, but I keep coming back to common sense. Houston needs a quarterback, and Stroud's the best one available at No 2.
3. Will Anderson - It's no secret that Arizona wants to trade out of No. 3, and it's no secret that Houston is seriously considering an edge rusher with the second pick. Both teams get what they want in this scenario. Houston now has a pillar on each side of the ball.
Quote:
Lance Zierlein
2. Will Anderson - This one is likely to come down to a choice between two edge rushers: Anderson and Tyree Wilson. If the Texans are OK with Wilson's medicals, he might be the front-runner, but Anderson has better college production, high football character and is the safer pick.
12. Peter Skoronski - If the Texans take Will Anderson Jr. over Tyree Wilson at No. 2, then see Wilson still available here, it might be extremely difficult for them to bypass double-dipping on edge rushers. However, Skoronski could help steady the offensive line while offering tackle/guard versatility on the right side.
If the Texans add Tyree Wilson, Jalen Carter and Deforest Buckner to their d line tonight while also having picks
33 and 35 tomorrow and 3 first round picks next year. Add achane and a center, plus a WR and Antonio Johnson on Friday night and this will be a solid draft with still 7 picks to
Go on Saturday.

I still believe that you need to keep an eye on Trey Lance and Mac Jones. It wouldn’t shock me if the Texans looked in the middle rounds for a quarterback. Clearly, in this scenario, they would need to have a plan for 2024 season and off-season. https://t.co/qY1r3aR878

Whether they take one at 2, 12, 33, middle rounds, trade for one, whatever...They can't start next season with the QBs they have.
IMO that's one thing that isn't an option.
