Houston Texans First Pick Rumors: GM Rick Smith Finalizes Top Selection, Coud Trade Down? [VIDEO]

All eyes are on the Houston Texans as they have been on the clock since the final gun went off at the Super Bowl, but now the Texans finally know where they are going with the NFL Draft's number one overall pick.

Texans general manager Rick Smith, addressed questions and revealed that the Texans know where they are going with No. 1 overall, but don’t know if they will be selecting there.

"I know the order of our board. If we select first, it's a unique opportunity to be the first pick," he said. "If we do select there, I know who we feel good about there. If we move, then obviously there are variables that come into play at that point.”

The consensus among the draft experts is that the Texans will tap South Carolina’s Jadeveon Clowney the drafts top pick, but the more interesting tidbit here is that the Texans have official admitted they are actively looking to trade the pick.

Yes, it was assumed and reported to death that the Texans are speaking to the Falcons, Bills and anyone else interested in the pick, but we haven't heard it from the horses mouth to this point. Mark it down that the pick will be Clowney is the Texans can’t pull off the trade, but I fully expect the Falcons to pull off the trade on draft day in order to select the South Carolina prospect.
