With uncertainty surrounding the Houston Texans franchise quarterback, the team selected Stanford product Davis Mills with their first pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, being the 67th overall selection.
There is no long-term answer on the roster for a worst case scenario outcome with Deshaun Watson, so grabbing a quarterback in Round 3 is not really surprising to some. With Kellen Mond — who seemed like a good fit for the Texans— going the pick before, Houston grabbed Mills to fill in for the QB depth needed, behind Tyrod Taylor.
