NFL insider adds important caveats to Houston Texans draft options
DRAFT SZN
08 February 2023
The Houston Texans have a massive decision to make when it comes to selecting a young QB in the draft that will hopefully become the face of the franchise.
NFL Draft expert Lance Zierlein believes there is a significant gap between Bryce Young and the next QB (CJ Stroud)that will be available. And another big drop-off between Stroud and Will Levis.
So does that mean the Texans should be aggressive and go after Bryce Young at all costs?
Plus, how does this group of QBs stack up to Trevor Lawrence when he was a prospect?
Be sure to check out the video above as Zierlein breaks it all down!

Rumors have been swirling in recent days about the possible reunion between the Astros and Carlos Correa. Correa made the trade sound like an unlikely possibility on Wednesday, but now, it appears it's happening.
According multiple sources, including MLB.com's Brian McTaggart, the Astros are trading for Correa.

With third baseman Isaac Paredes likely unavailable until next season, this move makes a lot of sense for a team trying to win a World Series this season.
Correa has already agreed to play third base, with Jeremy Pena remaining at shortstop. Carlos is guaranteed $96 million through the next three seasons.
Correa is slashing .267/.319/.386 this season, not exactly the numbers we expect from Correa. But he was terrific in 2024, so hopefully a change of scenery sparks more production.
However, a deeper look at the numbers shows Correa has been much better as of late. He's slashing .308/.373/.421 with 2 homers and 9 RBIs over his last 30 games.
What did the Astros give up?
Details of the trade are finally being released. The Twins are paying $33 million of Correa's remaining $103.42 million contract.
The Minnesota Twins are paying a whopping $33 million of Carlos Correa's remaining $103.42 contract.
