2022 NFL Mock Draft: Texans take a tackle

Okay, so we’re going with the idea that the Houston Texans actually build an actual real-life NFL football team for 2022 and beyond! This despite giving Lovie Smith the head coaching nod (less criticism about him specifically and much more about all the optics and chatter beforehand.) Who knows, maybe Lovie pulls off a Rich Bisaccia! And we’re also going what feels like works for the 2 most feasible scenarios for what the roster looks like with Davis Mills as the 2022 starter. Scenario #1 is the idea that together with offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton, and offensive line coach George Warhop, Lovie Smith both want to AND are able to keep Laremy Tunsil happy for at least one more year and have him be the left tackle for Davis Mills for his second year (Tunsil has cap numbers for 2022 and 2023 of about $17 million and $35 million respectively with only $16 million in dead money in 2023, so he’s a prime candidate for trade and restructure for another team.
