With the 25th Overall Pick in the SquaredCircle Community Mock Draft the Houston Texans select...
Nathan Peterman, QB, University of Pittsburgh
Houston is in a very tough spot here. They really need a QB, but are stuck in a spot where the top QBs are all gone. The Texans clearly expected Romo to land in their laps. They could pivot and take a OLB to solidify the defense or a OL to help increase their run game, but they will still be without the most important position. In all honesty, I think they trade up for a top QB, but I am not going to do that here. With Watson and Trubisky gone, the next best option is Nathan Peterman. The only thing keeping Peterman from being drafted higher is that he needs to prove his arm strength. He is highly accurate and can make all the necessary throws. Think Kirk Cousins, but with a higher upside. He also played in a Pro-Style attack in college, along with graduating in 3 years. So he has the necessary mind for the game.
