Falcons and Clowney. Dimitroff possibly setting the stage.

I would be surprised if the Texans don't select Clowney, but I wouldn't be surprised if Thomas Dimitroff doesn't have that notion floating around in his head. I suppose it would depend upon how much he is willing to sacrifice. We all know that he is aggressive, but he is willing to trade up per nfl.com.  

 

Jadeveon Clowney in the NFC South? How does that change the thinking at 28?

Tiny Richardson.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Texans didn't take him. I'm leaning toward them taking Bortles with the first pick overall or trading out of it and trying to get him a few spots later.

Smart for them to have a deal in place with ATL.  Houston takes Clowney, and if Bortles is there at 6, then they pull the trade and hopefully rob Atlanta of a dozen or so picks

I cant see Bortles going no1. I think it'll be between Clowney and Bridgewater. Bob McNair likes Manziel, but he's just not the kind of guy for a blue collar Bill O'Brien.

Could see that happening. Hasnt seen a trade like that since Eli/Rivers.

This isn't a popular opinion, but I have this feeling Clowney will be a bust, and not the kind in Canton.

I think the Texans take Bridgewater, and Atlanta trades with the Rams for Clowney.

The team is leaning towards a QB and it's between Manziel and Bortles. McNair likes Manziel, but O'Brien like Bortles.

I seriously doubt that Clowney goes number 1 overall. I mean, there is absolutely a chance, but if they insist on running that 34, I might would even consider Mack as an outside edge rusher, just as much as I would Clowney. 

 

I just see the Texans going the route of QB.

Agree, the ATL giving up another load of assets for him is music to my ears.

[Jackofalltrades]

Texans need to send their second to DC for Cousins and take Clowney first.

However, I don't really care if Clowney goes to ATL or not.

Mayock said he'd take Mack first overall, so you're not alone there.

Kinda like a poor mans Julius Peppers.
