The Houston Texans had it all sewn up. They were the NFL’s worst team by record at 2-13-1, and all they had to do was to lose on Sunday to the Indianapolis Colts, and they’d have the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft. That would have given them the choice between any player, of course, and most mock drafts had them taking Alabama quarterback Bryce Young with that first pick.
Well, that’s not going to happen anymore. With 50 seconds left in that game, and the Texans down, 31-24, quarterback Davis Mills threw a 28-yard touchdown pass to tight end Jordan Akins.
Then, the Texans said “feh” to overtime, instead going for the two-point conversion… and getting it! Akins also caught the conversion, putting Houston up, 32-31.
Meanwhile, the former 3-13 Chicago Bears lost 29-13 to the Minnesota Vikings. So, they now have the first pick in the upcoming draft.
Here’s where it gets interesting. The Bears don’t need a quarterback with Justin Fields on their roster, so they can either stay put and take whomever they like, or they can trade down with another quarterback-needy team for a bevy of picks. Either way, the Texans are no longer in control of their own destiny in the draft.
