There was speculation after the NFL draft that the Houston Texans' pick of C.J. Stroud with the second overall pick was driven by ownership. As the story went, that was why the Texans overpaid to go back up and get Will Anderson Jr., the preferred pick of the front office, at No. 3 overall.
If the NFL did the draft over, Stroud would be the first pick and it probably wouldn't be much of a debate. Stroud had another good game and the Texans moved to a surprising 3-3 with a 20-13 win over the New Orleans Saints. The Texans held on in the final minute, with Derek Carr throwing a fourth-down interception in the final minute.
That pick changes the trajectory of the Texans. Their season already is a success, no matter their final record, if Stroud continues to play like he has. DeMeco Ryans looks like an excellent hire as a head coach and the roster is slowly improving. The Texans were bad for a couple seasons without much hope, but that's not the case anymore. That's what one home-run pick at quarterback can do.
Mostert has had some big moments as a pro, but injuries have been a part of his story too. He is healthy and on a track team of an offense that fits his style perfectly. If Mostert can stay healthy he's going to have a monster season, regardless of when Achane returns.The Seattle Seahawks offensive line is banged up, and the Bengals took advantage.
Instead, Fields had a horrible day and got injured on top of it. Fields was 6 of 10 for 83 yards and an interception a few minutes into the third quarter when he injured his hand and left. The Vikings went on to win 19-13 in an ugly game. The Colts might be without Anthony Richardson for the rest of the season if he decides on shoulder surgery. At very least he'll be out for a few more weeks. The Colts need Minshew to play better, but that probably means using him a lot less.The Atlanta Falcons had a quarterback controversy for a moment due to Ridder's struggles, but Ridder ended that talk with a nice game in Week 5.
