The 2022 NFL draft may be the first one for Lovie Smith as the Houston Texans’ coach, but it isn’t his first rodeo by any means.
The 63-year-old from Big Sandy, Texas, has been working with general manager Nick Caserio on the club’s strategy heading into the draft, one that figures to be an optimistic start for a moribund franchise cursed with four-win seasons in each of the past two seasons.
“It’s important for the future but it’s about now,” Smith said. “We talked about picks three, thirteen and others that we have and that just says that everything is on the table. Moving back is on the table. Everything is on the table as we go.”
