If you had the Texans #1 pick, what would you do with it?

[doc longhorn]

My opinion:

I would pass on Manziel

I would pass on Bridgewater

I would look at McCarron and Evans really, really hard.

I would probably trade down.

 

[BevoBlake]

McCarron can be had in the 2nd. I'd offer Cleveland a trade up to see if I couldn't poach both of their Round 1 picks. If that fails, there are plenty of other suitors that would love either Bridgewater or Clowney.

McCarron in the first? First overall??!?

Draft Clowney.

 

[fakepunt]

I would have taken Derrick Johnson in 2005. They took Fat Boy.

I would have taken Vince in 2006. They took Luigi's brother.

I would have taken Justin Tucker. They took Fat Boy.

I would have signed Saban. We signed Charlie Bada$$. Time will tell, but I think I was wrong...

I would have signed Morris. We signed ... tbd? crosses fingers...

I would trade down. If that doesn't work, I would take Manziel.

I should have said "Who would you draft for your needs?"

I don't see the Texans taking Manziel with the 1st pick. I don't think O'brien will go that route. Probably gonna trade down.

 

[Firehorn]

Trade down.

Honestly, I like this.

Houston trades the #1 Overall Pick to Cleveland for the #4th Overall and the #26 Overall Pick.

Cleveland takes Terry Bridgewater with the #1 Pick.

Houston takes LB Anthony Barr with the #4 Pick.

Houston takes OT Antonio Richardson with the #26 Pick.

Houston takes QB AJ McCarron with the 1st Pick in the 2nd Round.

I think that's still a bit high for McCarron but I don't see him making it to the 3rd.

 

[Brasky]

Trade down.

If we stay at #1 I'd like to see Clowney, Bridgewater or Bortles.

Manziel is too risky. A huge part of being a successful NFL QB is the work you put in and Manziel seems a bit too enamored with the spotlight to me. Plenty of sick athletes don't cut it at that level and it's not because they don't have the physical ability.

...draft bridgewater for sure...

 

[texasdobbs]

Trade it to the cowboys. .. lol

Lol. The last thing we need is to get shafted via trade two years in a row.

How are the Texans doing with season ticket and suite sales? If they're lagging, I draft Manziel in a heartbeat. Houston is an aggie-infested town.

 

[reneg_2]

Trade down. If not, draft Clowney.

Houston has the biggest contigent of UT Alumni than any other city. No way O'Brien buys off on Manziel and his off the field issues. I would trade down and build up both lines. I wouldn't touch McCarron either. There are a lot of QB's I would take before AJ McCryin'.

 

[HornSolo]

Trade down for multiple picks, they have a lot of holes to fill.

 

[NLeininger]

Yep.

QB, RB, OL, TE, DL, LB, DB, and K.

 

[JMagana]

I'd trade it to Cleveland and hope they get Johnny and see how he likes the cold and a fuc*ed up organization.... id laugh at the aggies.
