Good morning Houston! It may not feel like it but we’re getting closer to the NFL draft.  Here’s some Houston Texans news to hold you over until Thursday night.

After posting an article on what it would take for the Texans to move up in the first round, I’m convinced they will be staying at 25.

This 2014 NFL redraft is interesting. I like who the Texans took instead of Jadeveon Clowney.
