I can't, to be honest. Andre Johnson might quit the teamI can also see them taking Clowney as well.

For trade reference etc..
Manziel is a cancer waiting to happen and not worth the risk he brings with all the running he does. Houston should probably try to trade down, but as some of you have mentioned there might not be anybody willing to give that much up for the #1 spot.
I think they work a deal with the Pats trade draft picks for Ryan Mallett whom Bill Obrien is very familiar with and likes then they draft Clowney to book end Watt.
This is why I as the owner might go another way
I will say this. Whoever the Texans pick, I hope that, for once, our fan base will support him. It is downright embarrassing how our fan base immediately starts hoping a new draft pick will fail just because he wasn't the guy they wanted.
Reliant will never even come close to being the Link unless our fans stop sitting on the edge of their seats waiting for that moment that gives them an excuse to turn on the team.
I remember your fans being outraged that your FO passed on Young - and it turned out to be the right move. I'm thinking that fan support maybe a reason they'd pick Manzeil. Look what happened the last time the Texans were in this position and went against the fans.
Should they pick him I'm not saying that was the only reason, but it might have played into it.
I also had to laugh at all the fake outrage when Mario left for Buffalo. You never wanted him! Why are you pissed that he is leaving?
Sometimes, I'm ashamed to admit I'm a Texan fan. Not because of the team but because of the fans.
Well, these are the same people that keep elected Sheila Jackson-Lee to congress. :rollseyes:
I don't know why some fan bases are like this, to be honest.
The people that draft (player X) have done all the research they could possibly have done. Could the guy still go bust? Sure, but the odds of that are less likely if you've done your homework - and even if he does he's not going to drag down a huge part of the salary cap like he used to.
You guys in Houston are one solid QB away from being a division champ - the question is, whom? Do you go with Manzeil, and if so, was it because of the fans? He's got some downside to him but he can make plays on the run. The questions are about his durability in the NFL and his maturity. Do you play it safe and go with Bridgewater?
I think you need a QB more than Clowney but Clowney might be the safer pick. I also think he has a more immediate impact since he's got Watt on the other side.
Right. The basically same team was division champs two years in a row before going 2-14. But, when you lose the turnover battle as badly as we did, that's what happens.
