Every April, over 200 college football players realize their dream of becoming a professional football player in the NFL. In the first round players get called name by name, each bro-hugging commissioner Roger Goodell, and become instant-millionaires. New head coach Bill O’Brien, general manager Rick Smith, and the Houston Texans have a major decision on their hands in deciding who to add to an already talented team.

The way of the NFL these days is an exciting, pass-happy league that can’t get enough of its scoring ways. Therefore, the three highly touted quarterbacks at the top of everybody’s draft are all strong possibilities.

Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel is one of the favorites to go number one overall. The 2012 Heisman Trophy winner was simply spectacular in the college ranks. He amassed 59 passing and 29 rushing touchdowns in two seasons as the Aggies starter, notes Yahoo Sports. With his dual-threat abilities, he’s drawn comparisons to play-styles like Russell Wilson and Colin Kaepernick.

The reason however Manziel is not a slam-dunk at number one, is also because of the new-age mind-set of the NFL. He doesn’t fit the prototype that most want in a quarterback. His height, measuring below six feet leaves a lot to be desired when thinking about a pocket passer and durability. Have shorter, smaller quarterbacks such as the previously mentioned Russell Wilson and Drew Brees (both under six feet) done enough to prove height isn’t necessary? The most intriguing aspect about Manziel though is that he seems to have the “It” factor. “It” is something that cannot be explained in a sentence, as it dwells down deep in the soul of a special athlete.

The other two QB’s mentioned for that number one slot are Louisville’s Teddy Bridgewater and Central Florida’s Blake Bortles. Many feel Bridgewater is the best QB in the draft, while others feel Bortles is that under the radar guy we always see sneak up the board and then enjoy a great career. Bridgewater and Bortles both fit the pro-style QB prototype a lot better.

It’s a quarterback paradise in 2014, as there are many different directions the Texans can go.

As sweet as the QB position looks, there are other ways they can go as well. Sometimes the best of personnel directors believe in building from the line-out. The best kept secret that casual football fans don’t realize is this: you build a team from the offensive and defensive lines, and then outwards.

One of the guys who blocked for Johnny Manziel at Texas A&M was offensive tackle Jake Matthews, notes CBS Sports. This guy is the safest, top prospect in the draft, and many have him number one on the entire board. Offensive tackles are incredibly important to any team (protecting the QB), and having the “Mathew’s Bloodline” doesn’t hurt his cause either. Jake is the son of pro football Hall of Famer Bruce Matthews.

And then there’s highly-controversial defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, who is by far, the most talented guy on the board. Unfortunately for him though, talent alone doesn’t get it done in the National Football League. Having Clowney on one side and All-Pro selection J.J. Watt is downright scary to think about.

The Houston Texans are in a favorable position. They’re a talented team that experienced a bad year in 2013, and are now set-up with a fantastic new young coach in Bill O’Brien and the top pick in the draft. Now that the Texans know that Matt Schaub is not their guy, there is a need for a QB in the organization. When that “QB Hole” is present on a roster it’s death to a franchise.

It’s an interesting decision that has no wrong answer; The Texans are now on the clock in one of the most talented drafts in NFL History.

Who will get the first bro-hug from Roger Goodell in New York this year?
