15. Houston Texans - USC OLB Clay Matthews

Reasoning: "They are hoping there is a market for [Kansas State QB] Josh Freeman because they'd like to trade down. But not too far down. They like USC linebackers Clay Matthews and Brian Cushing and will take one if the reports [about alleged steroid use] turn out to not be true. They need a big play outside linebacker because both their [projected] starters finished the season on the injured list," said John McClain, Texans beat writer for the Houston Chronicle.

Team's biggest needs: OLB, FS, RB (with power), DE, backup OG/C

I can see taking a CB/FS as BPA (re: Malcom Jenkins) but we did just re-sign Eugene Wilson to a multi-year deal. I don't know that it qualifies as a "need"
