They would probably take him if they can't work out a trade before the draft, but he may not be with them later in the evening.
Former Texans GM Charley Casserly said Friday on NFL Network's "NFL AM" that Houston isn't sold on South Carolina edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney due to scheme fit.
"I don't think they're sold on Clowney to fit in the '34' defense," Casserly said. Casserly thinks the Texans might be higher on Buffalo OLB Khalil Mack, but would only take him if they can trade down a few spots. Mack, a 3-4 OLB in college, "is a better fit in the '34' than Clowney," said Casserly. If the Texans can't work out a trade, according to Casserly, "they're going to take" Clowney.
