Will Kunkel Talks NFL Draft, Texans Uniform Reveal, Astros Rough Start

Will Kunkel, sports director at FOX 26 Houston, joins Next Up days before the NFL Draft, which begins with the first round Thursday. The Texans currently do not have a first round pick, but can find value in the later rounds. "We're good at wide receiver right now," but "I don't think you rule out" the position in the draft with a deep class and the reworked Stefon Diggs deal, Kunkel said. The Texans will have a new look for the upcoming season after unveiling four new uniforms Tuesday for the first time since the team's inception; however, next season will feature tougher matchups. "Now people want to beat you because you're getting a lot of love." Kunkel also addresses the Astros 7-17 start to the season, saying "it's all bad." The Astros have "allowed the most runs in the ninth inning" as the back of the bullpen is struggling. The batting lineup has also been an issue. "You got to move Alex Bregman down" and move Jeremy Peña up.
