Mike Florio believes Texans could turn draft night on it's head with this surprising move
Lovie Smith feels good about Houston Texans’ QBs with Davis Mills | Pro Football Talk | NBC Sports

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.

Oswald Peraza hit a two-run single in the ninth inning to help the Los Angeles Angels snap a three-game losing skid by beating the Houston Astros 4-1 on Saturday night.

Peraza entered the game as a defensive replacement in the seventh inning and hit a bases-loaded fly ball to deep right field that eluded the outstretched glove of Cam Smith. It was the fourth straight hit off Astros closer Bryan Abreu (3-4), who had not allowed a run in his previous 12 appearances.

The Angels third run of the ninth inning scored when Mike Trout walked with the bases loaded.

Kyle Hendricks allowed one run while scattering seven hits over six innings. He held the Astros to 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position, the one hit coming on Jesús Sánchez’s third-inning infield single that scored Jeremy Peña.

Reid Detmers worked around a leadoff walk to keep the Astros scoreless in the seventh, and José Fermin (3-2) retired the side in order in the eighth before Kenley Jansen worked a scoreless ninth to earn his 24th save.

Houston’s Spencer Arrighetti struck out a season-high eight batters over 6 1/3 innings. The only hit he allowed was Zach Neto’s third-inning solo home run.

Yordan Alvarez had two hits for the Astros, who remained three games ahead of Seattle for first place in the AL West.
