I doubt if there's anything to the rumors about a Texans-Bills trade, probably just the media fabricating stories to keep readers interested until the actual Draft which is still over a month off. But it there was something to the rumors, I suspect the Texans would pursue a deal. I could see trading our 1.1 for the
Bills 1.9 & 2.9 & 3.9 picks, or for their 1.9 & 2.9 & their second round pick in 2015. At 1.9 we would probably have Taylor Lewan or Zack Martin to choose from to plug up that hole at RT, or a CB like Justin Gilbert or maybe an edge rusher like Anthony Barr.
Hardly anything more that a pure guess here, but I don't think O'Brien is any more impressed with the Bortles, Manziel, and Bridgewater threesome than he is in the next 3 or 4 QB prospects. What we really need is Draft picks, lots of them, and if trading our 1.1 gets more picks I suspect the Texans will do it.
