NFL Rumors: Spicy Texans-Colts trade would shake up 2023 NFL Draft

It's officially draft week with the 2023 NFL draft three days away.

The rumors are starting to heat up with more teams potentially trading up/back and there could be a trade within the AFC South regarding the second-overall pick.

ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay wrote that a trade within the AFC South could shake up the draft. McShay said that he's been hearing that the Houston Texans would be okay on passing up on a QB with the second-overall pick and they could trade that pick to the Indianapolis Colts or Tennessee Titans.

The Colts have the fourth-overall pick while the Titans have the 11th-overall pick, and both teams could try to trade up for a quarterback.

"If Houston knows Indianapolis wouldn't take a player it wants -- again, I'm hearing Houston is OK passing on the top quarterbacks -- and it can pick up additional draft capital by moving back, there's some logic to it. I wouldn't say it's likely, but I also wouldn't be shocked. And remember, Houston also has the No. 12 pick to address needs."
