Texans Draft Davis Mills in Third Round With Uncertainty at QB
The Texans used its first pick of the 2021 NFL draft on Stanford quarterback Davis Mills in the third round. Houston's first and second round selections were dealt as part of the Laremy Tunsil trade back in 2019.
With Deshaun Watson's status uncertain, it's not surprising the Texans are adding to the QB room. Watson is facing 22 civil lawsuits with allegations of sexual assault and misconduct.
Prior to Watson's legal issues, he expressed his frustrations with team brass and reportedly asked to be traded.
Mills was the eighth quarterback selected in the first 67 draft picks in this year's draft, and the third passer selected on Day 2.
