Scenario Three:

Pick No. 2: C.J. Stroud or Bryce Young, Quarterback
Pick No. 12: Devon Witherspoon, Cornerback

If he fell to number 12, the Texans should absolutely take Devon Witherspoon as he would be the top player available. His skillset translates ideally to the NFL as he has both length and speed while being outstanding in both zone and man. This will allow him to play outside or in the slot and not miss a beat. Pairing Witherspoon with a healthy Derek Stingley Jr., Desmond King II, Jalen Pitre, and Jimmie Ward has the potential for a top-ten secondary. It's hard to not get excited at that idea.
