Houston Texans general manager Nick Caserio and company manage to whiff on their first pick of the 2022 NFL draft.
According to Charles Davis, who released his latest mock draft on NFL.com, the Texans go ahead and send in the card for Alabama tackle Evan Neal at No. 3 overall.
The Texans opt to give their second-year QB Davis Mills some additional protection by picking this extremely athletic — and still growing — Crimson Tide star, who’s also the most versatile OT in the draft. Keep in mind that Texans GM Nick Caserio previously worked under the Patriots’ Bill Belichick, and the New England-Alabama connection is a strong one.
