In tonight's edition of Texans rumors, the Houston Texans are rumored to be leaning toward either Jadeveon Clowney or Johnny Manziel with the first overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.
According to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle, the Houston Texans may hesitate on trading down, perhaps opting to take their chances on either the now-beleaguered Jadeveon Clowney or Johnny Football:
I expect Texans to take Clowney or Manziel with first pick or Bortles or Mack if they trade down. They must b overwhelmed 2 trade down.

Clowney has been receiving his share of criticism in the media as of late, with questions about passion and work ethic being continuously levied at the former South Carolina Gamecock.
However, former Texas A&M poster boy Johnny Manziel also comes with a large amount of perceived risk. His size and kamikaze playing style are scaring off some NFL scouts, along with his propensity to embrace the celebrity lifestyle.
Whichever way the Houston Texans decided to go with the first overall pick in May's NFL Draft, expect plenty of doubters to emerge regardless.
