Texans Take QB, RB in First Two Rounds of SBNation Mock Draft – Battle Red Blog
"In the first, Kadar has Houston taking Carson Wentz, QB, North Dakota State University. That’s been a popular mock pick over the past week–Mel Kiper Jr. made the same choice for Houston in a recent mock–and it is one that I hope does not come to fruition. I am not a beleiver in Wentz at all. In fact, when his name started being hyped as a possible early round draft pick in mid-season, I made it a point to watch an NDSU game, just to see what the fuss was about. I came away thinking that he was going to be the most overrated player in the draft, and these early mocks seem to bear that out."
