Texans Rumors: Caserio 'Very Conservative'; Won't 'Force' QB with No. 2 Draft Pick

The Houston Texans won't necessarily take a quarterback with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft, according to NBC Sports' Peter King.

King reported that Texans general manager Nick Caserio will be "very conservative" and is "not going to force it" if he doesn't believe there's a quarterback good enough to warrant that high of a selection.

One source told King that Houston could opt for Alabama star Will Anderson Jr. and then trade up using the No. 12 pick in order to land a QB.

Looking ahead to draft day, the top of the draft figures to return to a more typical, quarterback-heavy set of picks.
