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.

Abreu pitched a 1-2-3 eighth inning. He struck out four of the six men he faced.
Josh Hader retired the side in order in the ninth inning to convert on his franchise record 23rd straight save opportunity to start the season.

The bullpen trio of Ryan Brasier, Ryan Pressly and Brad Keller held the Astros to two hits over 3 1/3 innings.
