The 2021 NFL draft continues Friday night with day two from Cleveland, Ohio.
The Houston Texans will finally get a shot to make their first selection of the draft as they possess the No. 67 overall pick in Round 3.
General manager Nick Caserio told reporters that it doesn’t really matter where the Texans pick; they just have to perform their due diligence in selecting the best player available.
“Look, we have evaluated the board top to bottom,” Caserio told reporters on April 16. “It’s not, well, we don’t have a first or second round pick, we’re not going to evaluate this group of players. That’s kind of irresponsible. But our staff, James Liipfert and his staff and our area scouts, we have done a lot of work. We have done a lot of information.
“Again, when you’re watching a team, you might think, ‘OK, this player is going to get picked in the first however many picks.’ But when you’re watching that team and evaluating that school, it’s not like you’re going to go through your evaluation process and say, ‘well, we don’t have a first or second round pick, this player is not going to be there, so we are not going to worry about him.’ It’s kind of negligent or irresponsible. Quite frankly, it’s not that big of a deal.”
