The Pick: QB DeShone Kizer, Notre Dame
We can all agree Brock Osweiler isn't the answer, right? Let's also go ahead and declare that Tom Savage isn't the long-term starter, either. That leaves the door open for a quarterback at pick No. 25 if one happens to fall to the Texans. In this pre-free agency mock draft, one does.
DeShone Kizer entered the season as my No. 1 ranked quarterback, but he struggled without NFL talent around him after Ronnie Stanley, Nick Martin, Will Fuller and C.J. Prosise went in the draft last year. This season saw Kizer benched for Malik Zaire and otherwise limping to a four-win finish.
What scouts will see though is the size, arm strength and how well he interviews. That might be enough to have him off the board by No. 25, but if not, the Houston Texans should jump all over the chance to pair Kizer's tools with Bill O'Brien.
57. LB Zach Cunningham, Vanderbilt
89. CB Rasul Douglas, West Virginia
131. EDGE Tim Williams, Alabama
169. LB Ben Gedeon, Michigan
188. S Rayshawn Jenkins, Miami (FL)
243. LB Steven Taylor, Houston
