Ultimately, the Texans took a quarterback in Stroud—a two-time Heisman Trophy finalist at Ohio State—at No. 2. They then pulled off a draft-night shocker, trading up to the Arizona Cardinals' No. 3 pick to take Anderson, who was a two-time SEC Defensive Player of the Year and consensus All-American at Alabama in addition to being widely viewed as the best defensive prospect in the draft.
CEO Cal McNair and Houston Texans foundation vice president Hannah McNair recently discussed the lack of leaks leading up to the draft, as well as the hectic moments amid the trade to acquire Anderson, during a recent interview with SportsRadio 610's John Lopez and Landry Locker.
