One of many Houston Texans’ greatest wants going into the 2023 season is the passing recreation.
The Texans completed because the eighth-lowest passing offense within the NFL final 12 months, and had struggles underneath heart. Not solely was second-year Davis Mills benched after a 1-8-1 report, however Kyle Allen fared no higher as Houston misplaced the subsequent two video games and misplaced eight turnovers. The scenario was so moribund that the Texans had to return to Mills and a two-quarterback system with Jeff Driskel simply to get via the final 5 video games.
The Texans’ passing recreation is a evident sufficient drawback that new Draft Wire co-managing editor Curt Popejoy noticed it as an instantaneous space of concern in his first mock draft.
Houston takes Alabama quarterback Bryce Younger with the No. 2 total decide, which is principally the place the Texans could go at that slot anyway. The Carolina Panthers take Ohio State sign caller C.J. Stroud with the highest decide.
The Texans use their No. 12 total decide — obtained through 2022 offseason trade with the Cleveland Browns — to take TCU receiver Quentin Johnston. Once more, a secure choice and one which appears to be the logical pick for anyone making a mock draft.
The Indianapolis Colts go for Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson with the No. 4 total choice. Kentucky’s Will Levis goes No. 6 total to the Detroit Lions.
