Houston Texans chairman Cal McNair told reporters on Monday that he didn't force the team's front office to use the No. 2 overall selection in this year's NFL draft on Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud.
"[My wife] Hannah and I don't make the picks. We'll make it clear there," he said. "We have a great group of scouts led by Nick [Caserio] and James Lippert, and they did a lot of work on the draft board, and then they followed that on draft day, and they moved up when they saw the value was there and moved back.
