Houston is now locked in on its player and is not expecting a trade, per sources. Texans happy to sit at 1 and take player it wants.

I don't believe they are allowed to sign the first pick ahead of the draft any more. That had happened previously, if I recall correctly.

thank goodness. one bullet potentially dodged....or they are pushing someone to up their offer a little bit more.

That's what I was thinking, it could be posturing.

I hope they miss harder than any other team has ever missed. Bill Obrien is an *******.

Khalil Mack.

Re: Schefter: Houston Locked in at #1

They locked themselves in by putting to high a price on the pick. Seriously, three first round picks to move up? I still think it could come down to waiting til the time of the pick. They have a lot of needs and can use the extra picks.

Everything at this point is a smokescreen or posturing... I'll believe that they've made a pick when the card is turned in, not before. Same with the other 31 picks tonight.

Maybe they'll drop one of the future picks and hope that a sap lines up.

I doubt it, the Texans to me are one of the better run franchises in the NFL. I think they've been struggling with taking Clowney as he really doesn't fit their defense but he's such a great talent it's hard to pass him up. Yet think they've finally come to realize you don't pass on elite talents when one falls to you (see when they took Mario Williams instead of the popular pick Bush). That said they could always just play it safe and take Mack because he fits their scheme better and has a lesser chance at busting.

Well, that's what Kevin Costner gave to move up from #7 to #1 in "Draft Day," so... :)

I do too, but that would be my favorite scenario.

Re: Schefter: Houston Locked in at #1

They are just Using the press hoping get more in a trade. It's hilarious how teams feed these little dweebs false info and they go running for the cameras like they have a big scoop!
