Report: Texans Leaning Towards Manziel, Bortles

CBS SPORTS.COM - The Houston Texans, who hold the first overall pick of the 2014 NFL Draft, are in the market for a franchise quarterback.

Whether they'll take one No. 1 remains to be seen, but Sports on Earth's Russ Lande writes that, "According to trusted sources, the Texans are initially leaning towards taking either Blake Bortles or Johnny Manziel with the top pick.

McNair has said previously that the Texans could look to move out of the top pick.
