The Texans got two of the best players in the NFL draft in the first three picks. The Eagles added three more defensive standouts from Georgia.

While it takes two or three years to judge whether players panned out, it’s easy to identify the potential winners of the 2023 NFL draft.

Houston selected quarterback C.J. Stroud at No. 2 and traded up to get Alabama edge rusher Will Anderson Jr. with the third pick. In a 10-minute span, the Texans added two players who could dramatically change the future of the franchise.
