DRAFT BUZZ

Here is an undeniably bold non-Bryce Young solution to hasten DeMeco's Texans construction

The Houston Texans are in a situation where the top QB may not be on the board when they pick at No. 2 overall. With that in mind, should the Texans pass on QB with their top selection and draft the best player available?

If the Texans drafted Georgia defensive lineman Jalen Carter, and then addressed QB at No. 12 overall, would fans be excited about that strategy?

Or should the Texans take a swing on the most important position in the sport, and be confident they can develop CJ Stroud or Will Levis if Bryce Young is off the board?

Be sure to check out the video above as the guys cover all the angles.

The Houston Astros haven't counted on their catchers to deliver much offensive production in recent years, with defensive specialist Martin Maldonado being their primary catcher for the last few seasons. But top hitting prospect Yainer Diaz is making a case to get more playing time behind the plate and at first, based on his ability to swing the bat.

Until recently, he hasn't been able to get any meaningful playing time. Even David Hensley, who was optioned to Sugar Land a few weeks ago, has more plate appearances than Diaz this season.

So how does manager Dusty Baker find more opportunities for Diaz? Should he use him more often as a DH, along with getting time at first base and catcher?

And what does that mean for Jose Abreu, Martin Maldonado, and to a lesser extent, former first round pick and Sugar Land Space Cowboy catcher, Korey Lee?

Plus, considering how good the Astros outfielders have been this year, does the team need to grab another bat before the trade deadline?

Don't miss the video above as we break it all down!
