We've had as many as four quarterbacks going in the first round of our weekly mock drafts, and usually the number comes in at three. But this week, only two hear their name called. Why? In recent mock drafts, we've had the Texans targeting a passer at No. 2 but with the news this week that rookie Davis Mills will be the Texans' starter for the rest of the year, it's reasonable to think that he'll get an opportunity in 2022 as well. For now, we have them taking Kayvon Thibodeaux, the Oregon edge rusher, who could end up being the first-overall selection. We've also had Carson Strong in Round 1 for most of the fall but there are concerns about his knee, and we'll know more once we get further along into the pre-draft process. If he gets the all-clear, he's a legit Round 1 talent, and given that teams will invariably overdraft the position, Strong could very well be among the top 32 selections.
