HOT TAKE ALERT
The Houston Texans made a splash by trading up to draft Will Anderson after selecting CJ Stroud with the No. 2 overall pick.
While many thought it was a good move for Houston, others thought the Texans gave up too much in the trade.
Colin Cowherd's news anchor Jason McIntyre had a big problem with the compensation Houston gave up in the deal.
But Cowherd has no issue with the Texans trading their 2024 No. 1 pick because he believes the team will win around six games this season.
Which means Top QB prospect Kaleb Williams would not be available to the Texans had they kept their pick. Plus, the Texans made a bet on CJ Stroud, so they wouldn't be looking to draft a QB anyway.
Be sure to check out the video above as the guys react Cowherd's premise.
