With the 2014 NFL Draft a matter of weeks away the pre-draft talk has been heating up. For a long while this class has been labelled one of the best for many years and first-round players are being tipped to fall in to the second or third rounds. Every team has many options, and although the Houston Texans have a tough task ahead of them, they have the luxury that is the No. 1 pick, but will they trade it away, or draft for another team and trade the drafted player?

The Texans have a lot of needs, and most notably the QB, but there's talk of them picking a player, say Sammy Watkins, and trading him to a team for several picks. With the talent-pool a wide one they're aware that three picks across the first three rounds may be a lot stronger, and less riskier than making a No. 1 selection with so many options to consider.

With no Andrew Luck standard of QB they know that they can find a quarterback with a later pick, and although this idea of trading the pick may not excite the fans it's most certainly one they'll come to be thankful for within a year or two.

Will the Texans trade the pick or a drafter player, and which team do you think they'll deal with? May 8th is certainly going to be an entertaining day for everyone involved in the NFL. Which stars will your NFL team look to draft, and what explosive trades could potentially happen?
