It's too early - after just nine NFL starts - to say whether Davis Mills is the Texans' quarterback of the future. However, it's not too soon to say the rookie quarterback has done enough to earn the starting job in 2022. More importantly, Mills has done enough to allow the Texans and general manager Nick Caserio to focus on areas of need other than quarterback in April's NFL Draft.
The Texans (4-11) figure to have a top five pick - if the season ended today, they'd be picking third behind the Jaguars and Lions. If they're able to trade Deshaun Watson in the offseason, the Texans will have multiple first-round picks in a draft where there isn't an obvious franchise quarterback available.
