Like the shark that must keep swimming in order to stay alive, this here fan site of an NFL team must keep posting about mock drafts. It’s the law. Hence, I give you Dan Kadar’s latest effort, in which he opines your Houston Texans shall do the following in the first two rounds of the 2017 NFL Draft:
25. Houston Texans: Patrick Mahomes, QB, Texas Tech
In the eyes of some it’s Mahomes, and not DeShone Kizer, as the third-best quarterback in the draft.
I’ll just say it: If the Texans draft Mahomes with Kizer still on the board, I will be quite displeased.
57. Houston Texans: Dion Dawkins, OT/G, Temple
Houston got a quarterback in the first round and a player who can line up at guard or tackle to protect him.
Lance Zierlein calls Dawkins a “quality tackle” “...who has a chance to transition into an early starter.” How’s that strike you?
