Fans of the Houston Texans have seen the team select a quarterback in the first round of the NFL Draft on just one occasion, with the first pick in franchise history back in 2002 (David Carr). Since that time, the next highest round Houston has selected a quarterback was in the third round, back in 2003 (Dave Ragone). Whether it was poor planning or differing opinions on player value, the Texans simply have not put a premium on drafting quarterbacks.
Many observers are convinced the drought will end this year, that the Texans will spend a high draft pick in a signal-caller (though the debate about who that player should be rages on).
