The Houston Texans made a splash on Wednesday afternoon when they acquired star wideout Stefon Diggs from the Buffalo Bills.
Even at 30, Diggs represents one of football’s premier receivers and was openly discontent after a relatively down season in 2023. He made four consecutive Pro Bowls while helping Josh Allen emerge as a star quarterback in Buffalo, and now joins a Houston offense ready to take the next step.
Quarterback C.J. Stroud shined as the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and brings a loaded supporting cast into 2023 with running back Joe Mixon, receivers Nico Collins and Tank Dell, tight end Dalton Schultz and do-it-all weapon Brevin Jordan. In all honestly, Stroud could have a headache trying to feed so many mouths when given the opportunity.
With the offensive core now in place, the Texans’ draft strategy under general manager Nick Caserio forecasts to be defensive leaning. How they attack the draft could play a big role in how well DeMeco Ryans’ defense can complement their star-studded offense. Here is a potential forecast of Houston’s first 4 rounds.
