Texans GM: Drafting a QB still a possibility

On paper, it would seem the Texans are comfortably set at quarterback. After all, the team re-signed Ryan Mallett and signed Brian Hoyer this offseason. There's also 2014 fourth-round pick Tom Savage, now entering his second year with the team.

Despite that, Texans general manager Rick Smith said Tuesday the team isn't opposed to drafting another QB this year.

"No, not at all." Smith said, according to the team's official website. "It’s a quarterback league. I think our quarterback position, as we stand today, is better than it was a year ago. Both those guys, when you talk about Ryan (Mallett) and you talk about Brian (Hoyer), they are competing every day.

"I think that it’s an important year for Tom (Savage) as much as it’s an important year for any of these guys," Smith said. "It’s at this point that all those first to second-year players ought to be so much better and we expect that they make that jump. We’re looking for that from Tom as well. However, that does not preclude us from taking a quarterback.”

So at the end of draft weekend, Houston's already crowded quarterback room may get a little more cramped if the right player is still on the board.
