Texans’ needs in the draft
Quarterback:Deshaun Watson’s future with the Texans is in question following both the quarterback’s trade demands and 22 civil lawsuits filed against Watson, alleging sexual assault and sexual misconduct. He also is under investigation by the Houston Police Department and the NFL. The Texans signed Tyrod Taylor this offseason, but he is not a long-term answer, and it is unlikely the Texans will find one without a first- or second-round pick.
Wide receiver: DeAndre Hopkins is gone, and now so, too, is Will Fuller IV. Brandin Cooks, Randall Cobb and Keke Coutee remain, but what once was an area of strength for the Texans now is an area of need. There will be some intriguing options available later in the draft, when Houston has a lot of picks.

CHICAGO (AP) â All Mitchell Trubisky cared about was helping the Chicago Bears get back to winning. He insisted the other story that got most of the attention during the week wasn t on his mind.
Trubisky threw three touchdown passes to outplay Deshaun Watson in their first meeting since they entered the NFL, and the Bears snapped a six-game losing streak with a 36-7 victory over the Houston Texans on Sunday.
David Montgomery ran for an 80-yard touchdown on Chicago s first play from scrimmage, helping the Bears stop their worst skid since the 2002 team dropped eight in a row to match a franchise record. Chicago (6-7) sacked Watson seven times, including a safety by Khalil Mack, to tie a career high for the Texans quarterback.
