How ESPN’s latest Houston Texans Mock Draft could be a disastrous scenario
MOCK DRAFT REACTION

MOCK DRAFT REACTION
What will the Houston Texans do in the NFL Draft? A new mock draft from ESPN’s Matt Miller has the Texans making two surprise picks, including a bold selection at QB!
In this scenario, the Colts trade up to No. 1 and draft Bryce Young, with the Texans selecting QB Will Levis at No.2 overall.
Based on this scenario, the Colts didn't have to give up that much draft capital to go from No. 4 to No. 1. With this in mind, should the Texans trade up to No.1 and secure their favorite QB?
This will be a tough pill to swallow for Texans fans, considering they had the first pick all but locked up heading into the last game of the season.
Be sure to check out the video above as the guys are not all in agreement on this move.
