Houston, you may have a problem.
According to Benjamin Solak of The Ringer, there appears to be some tension inside the Texans’ war room.
Apparently, the Texans’ front office has Will Levis as the second-ranked quarterback on their board. Ownership, however, reportedly wants Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud.
“I’m fascinated to see what the Texans say after they take C.J. Stroud second overall. From what I understand, he was not the second-ranked QB on the front office’s board — that was Will Levis,” Solak said. “Very much seems to me like ownership stepped in and took over the controls.”
If this is true, this is a terrible look for the Texans.
I mean if this is true… that isn’t good. Even Jerry Jones learned to listen to his talent evaluators https://t.co/I48jaCRkrq

The Texans have a need at quarterback, make no mistake about it.
We’ll see if the Texans select either Stroud or Levis with the second overall pick.
