Tony Pauline writes that while the consensus belief is that the Texans could take a quarterback in round one, this isn’t a universally held belief from those close to the situation.
Pauline has spoken to a faction of people who believe Houston will not select at quarterback at No. 25 overall. According to Pauline, both Texans HC Bill O’Brien and the front office know they have to win now and can’t risk bringing in a developmental prospect that high in the draft.
Instead, Pauline’s source suggests a left tackle or a cornerback are more likely targets for the Texans in round one.
