With the #1 pick the Houston Texans

If you are Bill O'Brien and the Houston Texans who are you taking and why?
Trade the pick?
Johnny Manziel?
Jadaveon Clowney?
Blake Bortles?
Khalil Mack?
OL?
If I'm the guy in charge I take Clowney. Can you imagine if this guy is opposite JJ Watt on defense? This puts opposing offensive tackles to work and puts pressure on teams to use their running backs to become blockers more often. Cushing will be back at LB and shores up that group. This team is more likely to win quicker if they have a better defense vs a quarterback who might not make a difference right away. This is not a bad team at all. If they get back to running the ball and playing good defense, they could start contending fairly quickly.
Maybe they can trade the pick and move down to the 4-5 range and still get Clowney. I'm not sure it is risk I would take though.
