Jadevon clowney surely a good bet at 17/10 for 1st pick.
Surely the texans aren't going to pass him up for a QB? Or if they do feel they need a QB won't they try and trade the 1st pick?

I think they've already said that they are taking a QB
I could be wrong though

They said they are taking a QB, but not necessarily with the 1st pick. Personally I think the best thing they could do with the #1 pick, in order, is:
1) Trade it
2) Take the best player (presumably Clowney)
3) Draft a QB
Traditionally you tend to get good value trading away a top pick for a team that is desperate for it. Clowney & Watt may be a mouthwatering combo but the package of picks they would get in return would be worth more, on average (for example in 2012 the Redskins traded the #6 pick, a R2 pick and two more R1 picks for the #2 overall pick with which they took Robert Griffin).
If they don't find any Redskin-esque mugs this year, Clowney seems a somewhat safe bet to be a good pass rusher for years to come. Reaching for a QB when there is no obvious top prospect this year just seems the type of desperation move that often ends in disaster.

I'm sensing they don't really want Clowney. They are obviously desperate to trade down but I think if they were going to get a good value trade it would already have happened. Even if they took Clowney I think it would be more with a view of trading him than playing him. I wouldn't be surprised if they just stuck at #1 and picked Mack instead who seems to fit their defense better
It looks a high quality draft in just about every position except QB - which is a shame for all the teams wanting a QB
