1 Teddy Bridgewater, QB, Louisville

The Texans are losing games, but it'll pay off. They've quit in most weeks - losing consecutive home games to the Raiders and Jaguars, and then battling the Patriots tough is an obvious sign of that - but it'll work out in the long run because they'll be able to land Teddy Bridgewater.
Given how important the quarterback position is, Teddy Bridgewater will the No. 1 pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, barring injury. There's really no discussion. Jadeveon Clowney wouldn't get Houston's franchise back into the playoffs. Bridgewater would.
By the way, I've repeatedly discussed why Mariota wouldn't declare as a redshirt sophomore. He has announced that he'll be going back to school. He's the No. 2 pick in my 2015 NFL Mock Draft, updated a few days ago.

As mentioned earlier, teams that spend early picks on quarterbacks often double up on offense. If the Texans decide to do that, they could certainly upgrade the right tackle position, which is a big problem area for them.

65 Jeremiah Attaochu, DE/OLB, Georgia Tech

This pick kills two stones with one bird, as Emmitt would say. The Texans have to upgrade their pass rush and bolster the inside linebacker position. With Jeremiah Attaochu on board, Houston can move Brooks Reed into the interior.

I want so bad to offer another alternative, but I promised not to.
