Who wants to make a wager this is exactly how it plays out? The Texans win a game and lose the #1 overall pick and Carr is sitting there the obvious QB choice. It would be so appropriate based on this city's sports history.

I know very little about the QBs who might be available in the upcoming Draft other than some of their names ? Have not seen a single one play as I don't watch that much college ball. Another Carr in Houston seems intriguing to say the least ? What known similarities and differences does he have with David, who was certainly not without talent but was also notoriously lazy ?
One thing is obvious though, even more than ever a competent QB seems a necessity to be successful in the NFL these days, so I'm of the opinion if there's even a reasonably good prospect out there at QB and your team needs one, then you draft him even ahead of somebody like a Clowney who might be one of the greatest defensive prospects of his time. Of course ideally you draft Clowney and use a later pick for somebody who's gone unnoticed in the top rounds, like a Russel Wilson. Whatever ?
