Happy last Sunday before the draft. Soon we'll get to analyze actual draft picks and how they fit rather than sifting through all the information and misinformation emanated from teams playing pre-draft games.

Until then, let's get to one more round of Houston Texans mailbag questions.

@taniaganguli #TexansMail w/Crennel's time at KC and J-Jo's '07 pot charge, do you think Houston is open to drafting Randy Gregory at 16?

Ganguli: First, I can tell you that Randy Gregory is still in consideration for the Texans. I'll get back to that in a second. I find it interesting you'd bring up Johnathan Joseph's 2007 incident, because when the Texans signed him back in 2011, they did not address it with him at all. It was a complete non-factor because it was not part of a pattern for Joseph, and the charge did not stand ultimately. Joseph is, by all accounts, a really solid influence in the Texans locker room and exactly the kind of person the Texans want around. For the Texans, everything comes down to whether or not a player will be dependable on the football field, and they believe looking at a player's off-the-field character can help ascertain that. In Gregory's case, they'll look beyond the positive test at the combine. It's part of why they had him in for a visit last week.

@taniaganguli are Bryce petty or Brett Hundley on the table? Any was? #TexansMail #texans

Ganguli: They are, but that can mean a lot of things. The Texans met with Bryce Petty at the combine and brought Brett Hundley in for a visit. On their interest level, I would think Petty is higher than Hundley, but I'd be surprised if the Texans took even Petty in the first round. Their offseason actions as far as signing quarterbacks did not point toward drafting a quarterback high. Which brings us to ...

@taniaganguli why did we sign Hoyer? Is Mallet the long term answer? #TexanMail

— J-Stubbs (@HYPEisBack) April 10, 2015

Ganguli: The Texans signed Brian Hoyer precisely because they don't know if Ryan Mallett is the future. Hoyer had more leverage than Mallett, which earned him a larger contract from the outset. But here's the thing about both of those contracts: If either Hoyer or Mallett plays well enough that they become the team's future at quarterback, the contract they signed last month won't last long. The Texans will rip it up and lock them up long term. On the other hand, due to the structure of the contracts, the player who does not work out could be shipped off or shown the door after a year.

@taniaganguli can file Louis nix iii under category Trevardo Williams and Montgomery? #TexansMail

— Djoshua Djames (@DJsexyFingers) April 10, 2015

Ganguli: Not yet. The Texans haven't given up on Louis Nix III, which is part of why Texans coach Bill O'Brien tends to be hard on him publicly. (I would also not file Sam Montgomery and Trevardo Williams in the same category, but that's another matter entirely.) I'll be interested to see the impact Vince Wilfork has on Nix's development this season. Wilfork's addition means the Texans can be a little more patient with Nix, and it also means Nix will have an excellent example to follow.

@taniaganguli #TexansMail I have heard rumors about Saints trading Brees. Would it be smart for the texans to give up maybe a 3rd? We...

Ganguli: They don't currently have the cap space to take on the final year of Drew Brees' contract, and most everyone who covers the Saints has shot down this theory.
