#TTTQ Tweet of the Night

Last night's question from @battleredblog was - If the #Texans have the first overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, are they insane if they don't take a QB? #TTTQ

@battleredblog it depends. If they could get an AJ McCaron type of QB in the 2nd round, they may take Clowney with the top pick. Not crazy
