Although C.J. Stroud’s ranking seems to be declining, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that the Ohio State standout is still regarded as “a top-tier quarterback in this class” in advance of the 2023 NFL draft.
“There doesn’t seem to be a lot of momentum right now” for Stroud to go second overall to the Houston Texans, according to Fowler, who made this statement on SportsCenter on Sunday. In addition, he quoted an insider who claimed that if Houston passes on Stroud, he shouldn’t fall too far down the board.
A club outside the top 10 might even move up, according to Fowler, “if he slips to five or six.”
