There was speculation after the recent NFL Draft that team ownership drove the Houston Texans' selection of C.J. Stroud with the second overall pick. As the story went, that was why the Texans overpaid to go back up and get Will Anderson Jr., the preferred pick of the front office, at No. 3 overall.
Texans owner Cal McNair denied he pushed the Stroud pick, but as it turns out, maybe he should have claimed credit.
If the NFL did the draft over, Stroud would be the first pick and it probably wouldn't be much of a debate.
