The Houston Texans have an opportunity to draft one of the top QBs in the draft with the No. 2 overall pick. Assuming they do exactly that, and draft either Bryce Young or CJ Stroud, what should they do with the No. 12 pick?
Georgia defensive lineman Jalen Carter has been falling down draft boards after being charged with drag racing after the National Championship game. And this week, Carter caught more criticism for being nine pounds heavier at his pro day, than he was at the NFL Combine. Plus, Carter appeared out of shape at his workout.
If Carter tumbles down the draft board, he could be a great value for a team like the Texans from a football standpoint.
Which made us question if Carter's reported character issues would keep him off the Texans draft board.
And if so, which player or position should the team look to address with their second first round pick?
Be sure to check out the video above as the guys discuss the likelihood of the Texans drafting Carter, and why a WR would make a lot of sense for Houston at No. 12 overall.

It's no secret, the big topic of conversation from the Winter Meetings is the Houston Astros and what the future holds for several of their star players.
Fans are starting to voice some concern about what the team could look like should they let Alex Bregman walk, and trade away Kyle Tucker and/or Framber Valdez.
Houston's social media team recently posted a video about the Astros young guns, and let's just say it didn't go over well in the comments. And the timing of this post is quite curious to say the least.

Which begs this question. Are the Astros doing what's necessary by moving on from players they don't believe they can re-sign, or are they on the verge of some big mistakes?
