A bit of honest-to-goodness, actual, real Houston Texans draft news for you...
A bit unexpected: #UCLA QB Brett Hundley was spotted in Houston, set for a pre-draft visit with the #Texans tomorrow, I’m told.

On the topic of Hundley, Greg Cosell, NFL film guru, had this to say when he spoke with Paul Kuharskey today:
.@gregcosell on @Midday180: Hundley has size, movement and a plus-arm. Almost no pocket sense/awareness.

Despite the high praise for Hundley's physical attributes, that's not exactly a ringing endorsement for success as a QB in the NFL. Certainly not what a team would be looking for in the first round of the NFL Draft, anyway. While the Texans may not think they're totally set with a depth chart of Ryan Mallett/Brian Hoyer/Tom Savage, it's hard to imagine them considering Hundley as a viable first or second round pick, given the other voids on the roster. After that? Maybe the value is right to take a chance.
Speaking of first round talent...
The Texans taking Todd Gurley makes a lot of sense for the short-term and long-term. Hosting him on a visit. http://t.co/rGxt2LdqaQ

I know many are of the mind that "first round" and "running back" should never appear in the same sentence, but news of a visit is news of a visit. Even if you're not a fan of Gurley, it seems unlikely he'd still be available when the Texans went on the clock in the second round.
Brett Hundley as a future Texan? Todd Gurley as a future Texan? Other draft-related discussion? The Comments await.
