New player emerges as NFL Draft favorite to go No. 2 to Texans
TIME TO PIVOT
24 April 2023
The week of the NFL Draft has finally arrived, and we've seen several players projected to go No. 2 overall to the Houston Texans. But now that we're only three days away from the draft, it certainly looks like the Texans are likely to select one of these two players, according to the Vegas oddsmakers.
Kentucky QB Will Levis (the new favorite) and Texas Tech defensive lineman Tyree Wilson are the two players Texans fans should keep an eye on when the draft gets started this Thursday night. (Will Levis -140, Tyree Wilson +225, per Draft Kings)
Be sure to check out the video above as Mike Florio and Chris Simms discuss the latest odds, and share their thoughts on what is causing Ohio QB CJ Stroud to drop and Will Levis to rise.
Plus, Simms shares his QB rankings, which feature Stroud as the best QB prospect in the draft, and Levis tied for fifth.
Cristian Javier and Luis Garcia are back on the mound, but can they actually help the Houston Astros this season?
Javier made his first rehab start in the Florida Complex League (FCL), his first appearance since undergoing Tommy John surgery, and the results weren’t promising.
He struck out two but gave up three runs and reported some elbow soreness afterward. He’s expected to use his full 30-day rehab window.
Meanwhile, Luis Garcia had a slightly better outing, striking out four in his own FCL appearance. But with the Astros dealing with a wave of long-term pitching injuries, fans are left wondering: Are these arms just rusty, or not ready at all?
Be sure to watch the video below as ESPN Houston's John Granato and Lance Zierlein break down both pitchers’ status, what their timelines look like, and whether Astros fans should have hope or concerns about their returns.
