GET YOUR POPCORN READY
Thursday on First Take, Stephen A. Smith and Max Kellerman react to Deshaun Watson formally requesting a trade, the Texans coaching hire, and Adam Schefter joins the show to rundown all the mistakes the Texans made that got them here.
DRAFT DAY SWERVE
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport recently reported that the Houston Texans had a "quiet" top 30 visit with Kentucky QB Will Levis that many were unaware of.
Texans GM Nick Caserio and head coach DeMeco Ryans dealt with some criticism last week for not attending CJ Stroud and Bryce Young's pro days.
Should we read anything into this? Many believe the Texans could have concerns about drafting CJ Stroud based on his agent that also represents Deshaun Watson. So are the Texans actually considering Will Levis at No. 2 if Bryce Young is off the board?
Could Nick Caserio make the same mistake of drafting based off of traits instead of tape study? We know what happened last year when he selected Derek Stingley over now All-Pro Jets corner Sauce Gardner.
Finally, if the Texans pass on Stroud for Levis, how much would it haunt the Texans having Stroud likely end up with the Colts and facing the Texans for the next decade? A scary proposition for sure.
