HOUSTON - The first two times the Houston Texans had the No. Chris Sale Jersey . 1 overall pick in the draft, they chose quarterback David Carr and defensive end Mario Williams. Odds are that theyll use this years top choice on one of those two positions again. South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney is widely considered the best player available in this years draft. Pairing him with 2012 Defensive Player of the Year J.J. Watt could give the Texans the best 1-2 pass-rushing punch in the NFL. The problem is that while Houston could use another game-changing defensive player, the need at quarterback is more dire. The Texans traded Matt Schaub in the off-season after a terrible year in which he was benched after six games. The Texans signed veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick in the off-season, but he probably isnt the long-term solution to their quarterback woes. Several talented quarterbacks in this draft have questions attached to them concerning whether they are cant-miss prospects worthy of the No. 1 pick. Considered the best of the crop are Texas A&Ms Johnny Manziel, Louisvilles Teddy Bridgewater and Blake Bortles of Central Florida. Some worry that Manziels size will be a detriment in the NFL. Bridgewater had a bad pro day. Bortles has taken criticism because of his limited mobility. Manziel is somewhat of a folk hero in Texas after winning the Heisman Trophy in 2012. Billboards imploring the Texans to "Keep Johnny Football in Texas" dot the freeways around Houston, and Manziel, of course, has said hed love to play here. Though the team is under different management than in 2006, Houston is unlikely to let public sentiment about not letting the homegrown player get away sway its decision. The Texans passed on former Texas quarterback Vince Young, who grew up in Houston and led the Longhorns to a national title, in favour of Williams the last time they had the first pick. Houston general manager Rick Smith did say this week his team would consider trading out of the top spot. "If we take the first pick, we know who we want," Smith said. "(But) we are obviously open to moving out of the first pick, if in fact there is an opportunity for us to do so and if we think that is in the best interest of the organization." Five things to know about the Texans heading into the draft: LATE-ROUND QBs: If the Texans do use their first pick on Clowney, recent history has shown they could still pick up a solid (or better) starting quarterback later in the draft. San Franciscos Colin Kaepernick was chosen in the second round in 2011, and Seattles Russell Wilson was taken in the third round a year later. "I think theres an idea of a traditional quarterback that is successful in the NFL and I think those two examples are guys that dont necessarily fit the ideal mode. And I think theyve also given people some confidence that you dont necessarily need to have a traditional type of quarterback to be successful in our league," Smith said. CANT GET ENOUGH: Though Smith shied away from discussing specific needs of his team on draft day, he did acknowledge one thing. "There are two positions that I never think you can have too many of: corners and tackles," he said. NEW PROCESS: Smith is adjusting to new coach Bill OBrien after working on the draft with Gary Kubiak, who was fired in December, for the last seven seasons. "The opportunity to step outside of that comfort zone, and learn something, gives me a chance to grow personally and professionally," Smith said. "That was a fun part of it." NO LOVE FOR Defence: Williams was the last defensive player selected with the first overall pick when Houston chose him in 2006. Before that, the last player on that side of the ball to go first was Penn State defensive end Courtney Brown to the Browns in 2000. The Texans have overwhelmingly gone with defence in the early rounds, choosing defenders with 14 of their 17 first- and second-round picks since 2004. FINE WITH THE MOVE: This years draft was pushed back from its usual time in April to May because Radio City Music Hall was unavailable. Smith was perfectly happy with the change for at least this year. "To have the first pick, the extra time has been good," Smith said. "I think that I enjoyed the schedule and the rhythm of the draft in April and would probably want to see it moved back, but Im enjoying it the fact that its in May this year for our selfish purposes." Ted Williams Jersey . 1 player in the world. So Duval gutted it out Thursday at the Byron Nelson Championship despite the pain from a muscle issue in his right elbow, a day after his stepson had to drive him because he couldnt even use that arm. Tyler Thornburg Jersey .Y. -- The New York Islanders were seeking a positive finish to a frustrating season on home ice. http://www.redsoxjerseyauthenticshop.com/authentic-david-price-red-sox-jersey/ . The 33-year-old Spaniard, who held the lead since the second round, turned in a solid final round that featured six birdies and two bogeys to finish on 22-under 266. The victory is Garcias first this year with his last win coming at the Johor Open, an Asian Tour event in Malaysia last December.TSN.ca presents its latest weekly power rankings for the 2013-14 Barclays Premier League staff. Rankings were weighted evenly between separate lists made by TSN Radio host and soccer analyst Gareth Wheeler as well as TSN.cas soccer editors. 1. Chelsea (Last Week- 2) Chelsea was not in action this week in the Barclays Premier League. 2. Liverpool (LW- 4) For the third time this season Daniel Sturridge scored the only goal in a 1-0 Liverpool victory, this time over longtime rival Manchester United. Simon Mignolet picked up his third clean sheet for Liverpool and once again looked brilliant in net for the Reds. Liverpool are now the only team with a 100% record in the league. 3. Manchester United (LW- 1) On the back foot for the majority of the first half, United were not able to find the breakthrough in the second and fell 1-0 to Liverpool. Robin van Persie, last season`s top scorer, failed to find the net for the second consecutive game. The late introduction of Javier Hernandez was not enough to spark United to a goal. 4. Manchester City (LW- 5) While it could have been more dominant, an impressive bounce-back 2-0 victory for City over Hull as they attempted to erase last weeks upset loss to Cardiff. Alvaro Negredo scored the opener and winner, while Yaya Toure scored his second quality free-kick goal of the season. 5. Arsenal (LW- 7) The North London derby is always a big occasion and this one was no different as the Gunners were able to steal the headlines from Spurs with a 1-0 victory. Olivier Giroud scored the only goal in the game for a team whose biggest moment of the week was yet to come. Arsenal would go on to make a big money transfer for Mesut Ozil from Real Madrid. 6. Tottenham (LW- 3) After splashing all of that money in the transfer window, Spurs still had to watch Arsenal celebrate a 1-0 victory in the first North London derby of the season. On the bright side, they were finally able to complete the transfer of Gareth Bale so they should be able to move on and move forward from those questions. 7. Stoke City (LW- 12) Jermaine Pennant fired home a free-kick to give Mark Hughes charges the victory they deserved in a game they mostly dominated. Kenwyne Jones was strong in the victory for Stoke City. 8. Norwich City (LW- 14) In front of their home fans, Norwich was able to earn their first victory of the season over Southampton on the strength of Nathan Redmonds 68th minute marker. It was the only goal in an end to end battle that saw chances wasted by both sides. 9. Southampton (LW- 6) Captain Adam Lallana smashed a ball off the post and the Saints had two major penalty shouts waved away, as they fell 1-0 to Norwich City. They were punished on the wings throughout the contest and it eventually led to their demise. 10. West Ham United (LW- 8) It was only after Stoke City took a 1-0 lead that West Ham came to life and tried to inject themselves into the match to find a goal. They were unfortunately not able to find the net and have now not scored since their opening contest. 11. Astton Villa (LW- 9) Aston Villa was not in action this week in the Barclays Premier League. Pedro Martinez Jersey. 12. Everton (LW- 10) Prior to moving Marouane Fellaini to Manchester United, Everton earned their third draw from three games, scoreless against Cardiff City. They controlled the play and had a few good chances on goal but in the end were not able to breakthrough for the goal to earn their first victory of the season. 13. Cardiff City (LW- 13) Both the team and two goal man Fraizer Campbell were not able to duplicate the success they found in their victory over Manchester City, but they did earn a point in a scoreless draw against Everton. Keeper David Marshall was strong in goal for the Welsh side picking up the clean sheet. 14. Swansea City (LW- 17) After opening with two defeats, the Swans finally earned their first victory of the season, 2-0 over West Bromwich Albion. Ben Davies scored in the first half and Pablo in the second to secure the three points. 15. Newcastle United (LW- 19) 411 minutes from the start of the season until Hatem Ben Arfa fired home for Newcastle to hand them a 1-0 victory over Fulham. Tim Krul only had to face two shots to earn the clean sheet for his side who have suffered through a rough start to the season. Alan Pardews side looked good for the first time. 16. Fulham (LW- 11) Both Dimitar Berbatov and Darren Bent were both largely kept in check by Newcastle in Fulhams 1-0 defeat. They were intent to defend and try to pinch a winner on the counter attack but eventually their defence broke in the 86th minute sending them to their second defeat of the season. 17. Crystal Palace (LW- 20) After opening the season with two defeats, Palace finally got on the right side of a result with a 3-1 victory over Sunderland. Dwight Gayle scored the winner from the penalty spot in the 79th minute after their opponents were reduced to 10-men for a foul in the box. Jason Puncheon, who drew that foul, was a standout for the newly promoted side. 18. Hull City (LW- 16) Danny Graham had the chance, six minutes into the game, to put Hull ahead and perhaps cast doubt on a Manchester City team that already was carrying a shadow from their previous contest. He scuffed a clear chance on goal and eventually the Manchester City bullied their way to a 2-0 victory. What could have been if he had converted that opening chance. 19. West Bromwich Albion (LW- 15) The only team in the Barclays Premier League that has yet to score, West Brom fell 2-0 to Swansea and slipped to the bottom of the table. They were not badly out played in the contest, or really out played at all, but were not able to convert chances when they created them. 20. Sunderland (LW- 18) Still searching for their first win of the season, Sunderland found it very hard dealing with Crystal Palace who beat them 3-1. John OShea was sent off for tripping Jason Puncheon in the area leading to the deciding penalty goal. Prior to the sending off they were already chasing the game and the man disadvantage sealed the deal.
