The Houston Texans, who drafted C.J. Stroud with the second overall pick, have traded to No. 3 as well in a deal with the Arizona Cardinals, according to a report.

With the third overall pick, the Texans selected Alabama linebacker Will Anderson, Jr.

In the trade, the Cardinals will receive the No. 12 pick, No. 33 pick and first and third-round selections in 2024. Houston gets No. 3 and No. 105.

Nick Caserio denied rumors he plans on leaving his post as general manager of the Houston Texans.

"Quite frankly, I'm almost embarrassed I have to. I feel sort of like Leonardo DiCaprio in 'Wolf of Wall Street.' I'm not leaving," Caserio said Monday at a news conference. "There's never really been any substantive discussions of the sort."

Caserio is in his third year as the Texans GM after the organization hired him in January 2021. 

Caserio has been linked with a return to the New England Patriots. Caserio was a part of the Patriots' front office for 20 seasons, and he took over the director of player personnel role in 2008.

"Unfortunately, I think this time of year, there is a lot of information and a lot of topics that are discussed. Some are more accurate than others, and I think it transcends multiple landscapes," Caserio said. "But I'm honestly almost embarrassed that I have the say anything, but I feel like I have an obligation to make that statement. Really try to stay ahead of it. I really don't think there's anything else to talk about or to say any question about it. Again, appreciate the opportunity that we have here very grateful."

The Houston Texans could pass on a quarterback with the second overall pick in this month's NFL Draft, according to a report that cites one league personnel man.

Instead, Houston could use the No. 12 pick, which they also own, in a package to move back up the draft board.

"It's a stretch, but I could see Nick [Caserio] taking [Alabama pass-rusher Will] Anderson, then using his second [first-round pick] and trading back up to get his quarterback," the league personnel man said.
