​This heated exchange clearly showcases the polarizing decisions facing Houston Texans

SPICY DEBATE!

The Houston Texans have an opportunity to take a franchise QB in this draft that could set them up to do some real winning and finally get to a conference championship game. One thing that is concerning fans is the idea that Bryce Young could be off the board when the Texans pick.

Some believe taking a defensive player and waiting on QB would be the better value play, despite draft experts like Mel Kiper Jr having Will Levis higher on his board than Bryce Young.

Winning division championships may be enough for some Texans fans, but for the rest of us, we've seen that movie before. And if we learned one thing from this year's Super Bowl, the game was all about quarterback play. The Eagles came in with a furious pass rush and couldn't get Patrick Mahomes down one time. That game was won with high level QB play.

No one is saying they should draft a QB at all costs, we're just saying Bryce Young isn't the only player in the draft that could be a franchise QB. And defensive players that get drafted high aren't guaranteed to have success. They disappoint frequently.

Be sure to check out the video above as we have a heated debate about what the Texans should do with the No. 2 pick overall.
