But according to multiple reports, they're now considering trading down with the Atlanta Falcons.

The Texans are in need of a quarterback, and Johnny Manziel has been one of the favorites this offseason. However, other rumors indicated that they are leaning toward Jadaveon Clowney or another defensive game-changer.

Teams expect Texans to trade down, maybe to Falcons at 6. @SeniorBowlPhil says rookie pay scale makes taking Clowney, then trading tough.
