Former NFL Scout Russ Lande has been informed by "trusted sources" that the Texans are leaning toward selecting UCF's Blake Bortles or Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel with the No. 1 overall pick.
Per Lande, Manziel would "obviously be the choice" of Texans owner Bob McNair. We'd assume that's due to the whole Texas connection, wanting to keep Johnny Football home, and the excitement it would bring to the fan base. However, coach Bill O'Brien is reportedly concerned about Manziel's "work ethic and intangibles." Bortles has your prototypical size at 6-foot-4, 230 and has been linked to the Texans for the past month. We have a long way to go before May 8.
