The boys are BACK! And just in time — draft week is heating up in Houston! On today’s episode of Locked On Texans, we hear directly from Head Coach DeMeco Ryans and QB1 C.J. Stroud, and the vibes? IMMACULATE.

🗣️ DeMeco isn't mincing words — “The Texans never draft for need. It’s always best player available.” Sound like confidence... or a classic smokescreen?

Meanwhile, C.J. Stroud is settling into his leadership role and loving the early chemistry with new offensive coordinator Nick Caley. “That’s what I’m used to... pre-snap control, putting my guys in the best position.” 👀 Sounds like QB1 is getting exactly what he wants out of this offense.

With the NFL Draft just days away, we’re diving into the million-dollar question:
👉 Are the Texans' draft plans unpredictable by design?
👉 Is this all real... or just smoke and mirrors?
