    Let the value build with Clowney as the consensus pick. If someone wants to reach for a QB fine.

    Either way, let's deal this pick for several 1/2's .....

    J.R., you mind adding a trade down option?

    stay alway from clown3y....

    1) no flexibility
    2) can't bend
    3) marginal strength
    4) red flags galore
    5) entitled

    TB5, nuff said.

    I saw a mock that had the Texans trading down with the Falcons.

    Falcons receive #1 pick.

    Texans receive #6, #37, and 2015 1st round pick.

    I'd jump on that in a heartbeat. Would almost be guaranteed to get one of the 3 QBs.

    That would be good. May still end up with Manziel.

    I'm still for Clowney, as I've been since the beginning. BO'B can coach up a QB.

    I want us to pick a QB not because I believe in one, but because if we do pick one it means that OB believes in one. If he doesn't, then Clowney it is.

    I took Jake Matthews.

    Just because we need someone to back up Newton..

    I voted for Bridgewater but I'd be happy with Clowney or trading back as well.

    Good God if Teddy fell to the second that'd be a dream scenario.

    Ever consider that if he dropped that far, then he dropped for a good reason?

    I don't think he's a great prospect.

    I think it has to be Clowney.

    Where is Ha Ha Clinton-Dix? That name is worth the first pick alone.

    No you did it right. Unless you knew what the Texans are receiving in return. If it's to Atlanta -

    A. 1st, 2nd, 1st 2015
    B. 1st, 2nd, 2nd 2015
    C. 1st, 2nd, 3rd.
    D. 1st, 2nd.

    You don't know what the Texans are getting offered so nobody can logically select trade down unless you know what you get in return.

    I would do A, B, C, btw.
