John McClain and Aaron Wilson's NFL mock draft 7.0

This week, Texans general manager Rick Smith said he doesn't feel any pressure to draft a quarterback in the first round. That might be good, because it's beginning to look like the top three quarterback in the NFL Draft - Clemson's Deshaun Watson, North Carolina's Mitchell Trubisky and Texas Tech's Patrick Mahomes - may all be gone by the time the Texans pick at No. 25.

In this week's mock draft, the guest picker is a beat reporter for each NFL team, compiled by the Los Angeles Times' Sam Farmer. In that mock draft, quarterback didn't seem to be as high of a priority for some teams.
