NFL Draft rumors: Houston Texans still exploring trading no. 1 overall pick; Talks to heat up when on the clock
By Jack Crosby
Earlier in the day on Thursday, just hours before the kickoff of the 2014 NFL Draft, there was word starting to spread that the Houston Texans were content with their no. 1 overall position and would no longer be contemplating a trade. Well with just near minutes left now, Ian Rapoport is reporting that the Texans are indeed still shopping their spot, and those talks will only intensify once it’s time to pick.
From what I hear from the #Texans, there’s still a chance at a trade for No. 1. Talks will heat up when they are on the clock. #staytuned

There have been a lot of teams rumored to want to get up into the Texans’ spot, most notably the Atlanta Falcons who would be looking to get up there and select either Jadeveon Clowney or Khalil Mack to help out on the defensive side of the ball.
No matter who it is that wants to get up to the top of the board, one thing that we do know for certain is that they will have to give up the entire house to make the move.
It’s now crunch time, more than ever, to make the final decision.
