    Texans Considering Trading Down & Falcons Considering Trading Up

    A marriage made in heaven?
    Falcons pull the trigger and take Clowney?
    Texans trade with someone else?
    Texan keep pick and take a QB instead, complicating things further since the Rams are one of the few other teams that probably do not have Clowney as a priority at #2?

    My head hurts.

    Falcons need an offensive lineman more than Clowney imo. Better to just stay at the 6th pick and take Robinson or Matthews if either are available.

    Either way the Texans need to get out of the #1 spot and get the QB that they want.

    Many would argue that improving their pass rush is a top priority.

    Clowney + Top Lineman with their next pick is much better than a top tackle and secondary pass rusher

    The question is what ATL will have to give up to move up

    I still think 6 is a tad bit far for Houston to go . There's (apparently) a consensus top 4 around the NFL and its clowney mack robinson and Sammy. You move down to 6 and all could be gone.

    However if they are targeting a qb this whole time this makes perfect sense. I think khalil mack is their guy though , perfect fit.

    if they do they can forget about drafting bortles cause he'll be a jag. and hes the only qb worthy of going top 5.

    It's a done deal. Falcons will take Clowney and Texans will take Borttles with Falcons pick.

    Falcons have too many holes on their team to give up multiple picks to move up and take Clowney.

    Moving up from #6 to #1 will not be cheap. The Redskins had to give up a 2nd rounder and 2 future 1st rounders to move up from #6 to #2 to take RGIII 2 years ago.

    Falcons need to be able to stop somebody before they will be good again. I would give up whatever it took to get a stud defensive lineman.

    Clowney is a safe pick. Falcons should trade up to get him. That would be cool to have texans pass rushh JJ watt and Clowney

    Falcons are a lost cause paid way too much for a choke artist in RYAN. There a .500 club at best this year there time to shine has since past

    "Good chance Texans move down. Trade similar to Giants-Chargers trade, pre-aarnged to take Clowney for some other team."

    It is a smart move for the Texan's to move down, to get the sixth pick and other quality picks this year andd next is perfect for them.

    LB's do not put fans into the seats. QB's do. The Jags will take Bortles if he is stil there, and he will be.

    Not sure Bortles would sell tickets in that market, but Tebow definitely would.

    I still say Texans should (and will) draft Clowney and pair him with JJ Watt...Who are you going to double?

    QBs will get obliterated....It would be the best D-End duo ever

    What are the odds at the different sportsbooks that they take Clowney?

    If so, is it a push if the pick gets traded?

    Are there any lines out there about which QB they will draft?
