The Houston Texans had been trying to trade the No. 1 overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, but they have set a very high asking price and the team had trouble finding any potential trade partners. As a result, Adam Schefter of ESPN is reporting that the Texans are not expecting to trade the pick.

In addition to being locked in at No. 1 overall, the Texans reportedly know exactly who they will be picking in the top spot.

If the recent buzz around the league is correct, the Texans will be making South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney the top pick and pairing him with former NFL Defensive Player of the Year J.J. Watt.

Of course, this has been a wild draft, so the Texans could pull a fast one and fool everyone in the NFL world.

We will find out who the No. 1 pick is in a matter of hours.
