Texans Prefer Mahomes, Watson?

[HPF Bob]

According to USA Today, the Texans did not attend the pro days of any of the top quarterbacks but held private workouts with Clemson QB Deshaun Watson and Texas Tech QB Patrick Mahomes with comments after about how O'Brien is totally impressed with Mahomes.

A smokescreen? Maybe. Only because O'Brien allegedly prefers tall drop-back passers and, of the top 5 quarterbacks, these are the two you'd least likely classify as tall (both are 6-2) drop-back passers. Kizer and Webb are both 6-5, Trubisky is also 6-2. Another key factor is that, at #25, there may only be one or two still left on the board to choose from.

Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly recently said Kizer would have benefitted from another year in school. He seems to be falling in mocks the most with Mahomes and Webb climbing steadily. But who knows?
