I'm Cody Roark, Broncos reporter for Mile High Sports, joined alongside, as always, by Sarah Bettinger, site expert over there at predominantlyorange.com. The AFC has made a wide variety of moves so far in NFL free agency before the NFL draft. There's been some big moves, and we just got to ask ourselves the question here because it is important. What if the Denver Broncos get the quarterback position right? And maybe, just maybe, could the Houston Texans be an example of how Denver could approach things going forward?
Which, if you would have said that two or three years ago, Sarah, I think everyone would have been like, what are you talking about? If the Broncos can take the Houston Texans approach? Well, now it seems like something that they are kind of embracing.
It's really interesting to me, Cody, to think that. I mean, obviously, hitting on the quarterback is very rare in today's NFL. You have to get the right guy at the quarterback position. The Texans got the right guy. But remember before that, they were kind of the sad sacks of the NFL. I mean, they had the Deshaun Watson thing hanging over their whole head. And you had barely any picks in the 2021 NFL draft. And really, Cody, to me, like... As of the 2022 season, the Texans didn't really look like a team that was like, hey, remember they won that. I think it was the last game of the regular season and everybody's like, oh my gosh, Lovey Smith just cost the Texans a chance to get whatever quarterback they want.
And of course then, you know, CJ Stroud happens and things like that. But they were not a team that looked primed to welcome a rookie quarterback that was going to have the type of breakout season that we saw yesterday. from CJ Stroud. I mean, there was even rumors that D'Amico Ryans didn't want to take their job as of the beginning of the offseason and ended up obviously taking it. But look, this is a Houston roster that as bad as Broncos country wants to make it sound like the Denver roster is, I don't remember many... cornerstone pieces being on this houston texans team prior to last year now we know they got the the second and third overall picks and that ended up being offensive and defensive rookie of the year broncos don't have that kind of capital right now but man cj stroud was really the the straw that stirred the drink he was the one who turned things around there along with great coaching go figure and
And I think the Broncos have that. They've got the coaching. What could happen if they get the quarterback? I think this team's not as bad as a lot of people are saying.
Well, even before last year's NFL draft, even with the Texans positioning as to where they were, I think the common consensus, even after they drafted C.J. Stroud, even after they drafted Will Anderson Jr., was, okay, hey, these are great pickups for the Texans. Okay, let's see what they look like here in a couple of years' time. We did not expect – I don't think anybody expected – them to be as good as they were last year. And Stroud obviously was a guy that I think was a great example, right?
