Hendon Hooker, the next highest-rated passer after the top four quarterbacks, is gaining steam to be picked in the first round of the NFL Draft, with the Raiders and Commanders among the interested teams. The Texans are unlikely to use their second overall pick on a quarterback, with Will Anderson Jr. the most often connected name to the pick.
