It’s not just Johnny Manziel visiting the #Texans today. Jadeveon Clowney is, too. Would be a fun day to be a fly on the wall at Reliant
10:19 AM - 21 Apr 2014

Johnny Manziel visited the Texans around noontime. Jadeveon Clowney is finishing up his visit with the Texans right now. I have no idea how either of them went but those are two of the most intriguing players in the draft. I'll be shocked if they don't draft one or the other. I know Rick Smith is high on Khalil Mack but the head coach and owner are going to have a bigger say, IMO.

I like the way Zach Mettenberger throws the ball. Very quick release, strong arm and accurate. I'm not sure where exactly he should be drafted. First-round talent that will definitely be knocked back to the second or third round just because of his injury. He'd be an ideal fit for the Houston Texans because he could sit and learn Bill O'Brien's system for at least a year while Ryan Fitzpatrick starts. Ideally, I would like for the Texans to draft him with the first pick in the fourth round -- filling defensive needs in the first three rounds -- but it's unlikely he'll fall that far after his solid pro day workout yesterday.

(Associated Press) BATON ROUGE, La. — Wearing an LSU helmet, shoulder pads and a yellow practice jersey, Zach Mettenberger took a mock snap and rolled hard to his right, rifling passes to former LSU receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry.

Less than four months after reconstructive left knee surgery, Mettenberger came away from LSU’s pro day looking a lot like the quarterback who racked up 3,082 yards and 22 touchdowns last season.

“That was one of the biggest things we wanted to show,” Mettenberger said after Wednesday’s workout, which was viewed by numerous NFL personnel. “Just my knee health and mobility was a lot in question. I was able to roll out and throw accurate balls with something behind them."

“It was fun. I’ve been saying for a couple weeks now that I was healthy and good enough to go and I don’t think all of y’all believed me,” Mettenberger added. “The biggest thing I wanted to do is show that I could go out there, take an explosive drop and throw down field like everyone knows I can.”

Mettenberger’s college career ended as he unloaded a 32-yard completion to Landry during LSU’s regular season finale against Arkansas on Nov. 29. Taking a hit as he threw, Mettenberger tore his anterior cruciate ligament and sprained his medial collateral ligament. Doctors gave the latter injury time to heal before repairing the ACL in January with a piece of Mettenberger’s hamstring.

Given Houston's need at the quarterback position, a trade down could give the club one of the draft's top quarterbacks later in the first round, plus additional picks to strengthen a roster that could also use help at the linebacker and right tackle positions. Who could be most interested? The Atlanta Falcons, for one, are bringing Clowney in for a visit Wednesday, and general manager Thomas Dimitroff spoke of a willingness to trade up at the NFL Scouting Combine.
