Caserio sounded like a man ready to get busy when asked about the team’s plans with the second overall pick.
“We’ve received some calls on the No. 2 pick,” he said, “so I think our job and responsibility is to listen, you know, not rule anything out, and I think whatever the end result is come Thursday, we’ll be prepared to go either way.
“So if you want to quote me … are we open for business? I would say we’re open to listening. If you want to change the vocabulary a little bit. But we have received a few calls, and again I think our responsibility is to listen, to try and take the information and then just make the right decision.”
That certainly sounds like a man who plans to buckle up for a busy draft season — and perhaps field a few more trade calls along the way.
“I’m grateful and appreciative of the opportunity that my family and I have here in Houston,” Caserio said. “We understood when we arrived here that there was a lot of work to be done, and I think when you look across the NFL landscape, there’s work to be done in every organization. And I think we’ve made some progress, we still have a lot of work in front of us.”
