The Houston Texans had to be a little surprised when commissioner Roger Goodell strolled to the podium and announced the selection of a quarterback. With the second pick in the 2017 NFL Draft the Chicago Bears select . not Deshaun Watson.
Surely there was a sigh of relief by then-Texans general manager Rick Smith. Smith s Texans were buried deep in the first round by virtue of a season that included a playoff victory. He was without his selection in the second round next year due to a move to jettison the horrible contract of Brock Osweiler.
Maybe his guy could keep falling. Moving up would be expensive.
