Mike Florio believes Texans could turn draft night on it's head with this surprising move
DRAFT NIGHT SHOCKER!
27 April 2022
Mike Florio and Chris Simms share their thoughts on how they believe the Texans will approach the NFL Draft that starts on Thursday night. What stood out in this conversation was Florio's assessment that the Texans might quietly be looking to draft a QB at pick No. 13. What would make Florio jump to this conclusion with the Texans seemingly set a QB with Davis Mills?
Lovie Smith spoke to the media about the Texans already having three QBs on the roster, and those comments made Florio feel a certain way about what the Texans could be up to behind the scenes. Check out the video above as Florio and Simms react to Smith's comments.
Personally, I don't think the Texans would consider a QB this early in the draft. But on the other hand, I didn't see the Davis Mills pick coming last year.

How Rockets can keep pressure on West with Jazz limping into town
Apr 2, 2025, 12:08 pm
The Houston Rockets will aim to bounce back from their loss to the Lakers when they host the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night at Toyota Center.
Houston (49-27) has surged into second place in the Western Conference, winning eight of its last 10 games while outscoring opponents by an average of 10.5 points per game in that span. Jalen Green (21.5 PPG) and Alperen Sengun (18.1 PPG last 10 games) continue to lead a balanced Rockets attack that averages 114.0 points per game this season.
Utah (16-60) enters on a six-game losing streak and has struggled against Western Conference opponents, going just 7-41. Despite the rough stretch, the Jazz remain strong on the glass, ranking fifth in the NBA in rebounds (45.4 per game) behind center Walker Kessler (12.2 RPG, 2.4 BPG). However, injuries continue to pile up, with Lauri Markkanen, Collin Sexton, and Kessler all listed as day-to-day.
Perimeter shooting could be a key factor in this matchup. The Rockets allow 12.1 made 3-pointers per game, while the Jazz make 13.8 per contest—but Utah also surrenders 14.7 threes per game, giving Houston an opportunity to exploit its defense from beyond the arc.
With a playoff spot locked up, the Rockets will look to take care of business and extend Utah’s losing streak as the regular season winds down.
