The NFL Draft is getting a bit more interesting with all the movement at the top of the order. The Houston Texans have traded former starting quarterback Matt Schaub to the Raiders for an undisclosed late round pick.

The Texans have been shopping Schaub since before they signed free agent quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, but his signing sealed Schaub's fate. The Raiders get a serviceable quarterback who was a decent starter in the NFL until it all went downhill this past season.
Oakland Raiders now are expected to trade a 2014 late-round pick to Houston Texans in exchange for QB Matt Schaub, per league source.

NFL Draft Team Preview: New Orleans Saints
In terms of the draft there are mixed feelings about what this move means. The majority think that both the Texans and Raiders will now be selecting quarterbacks in the first round and will be using their new veterans as mentors until the younger players are ready. The counter argument is that the Texans will draft Jadeveon Clowney or Khalil Mack one overall and use the second round pick to draft a quarterback.
Either scenario is possible at this point and the amount of movement in the top 10 picks is encouraging. The Texans are going through a total overhaul while the Raiders are having a fantastic offseason and can make bigger strides in the draft.
What do you think the Texans are thinking at one overall? Schaub to the Raiders a good fit? Tell us @SportsWN
