25. Houston Texans

Notre Dame. DeShone Kizer . 25. player. 10. The Brock Osweiler decision was a major league gamble when the Houston Texans made it. The problem with gambling is the house always has the edge and it appears Houston got burned. Now they’re back to square one on the quarterback question. They know they have a Super Bowl roster in place. The only position that’s going to hold them back from making a run is under center. That means they’re a definite threat to draft one early. <p>It’s a surprise that Deshone Kizer fell this far. His mix of experience and high physical ability had him in the running for best in the class to many. Not to mention his advanced understanding of a pro-style system from calling audibles to adjusting protections. His size and arm strength are both optimum and he’s shown solid touch on the ball when he’s not constantly under pressure. If Bill O’Brien can help speed up his processor, this could be a steal.</p>.
