Needs for Teams Picking 1-4 in the 2014 NFL Draft

1.)Houston Texans
Needs: Quarterback, defensive backs, tight end 

Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said the Texans will take a QB in this years draft, however he has not said where he will take one in the draft.  It could be the top pick or a later round, so Clowney still has a shot to be taken here but I think the Texans will take Blake Bortles here.  The Texans also need to address their secondary as well as the tight end spot with Owen Daniels no longer being on the team.

2.)Washington Redskins (The Rams actually own this pick but I need to talk about all 32 teams here)
Needs: Wide Receiver, Defense 

RGIII needs offensive help, Pierre Garcon is a talent as well as tight end Jordan Reed, but RGIII needs more help here.  They also need to address their defense as well, they were 30th in points allowed in 2013, and when they have to play teams like the Eagles twice they have to play better defense.

3.)Jacksonville Jaguars 
Needs: Quarterback, running back, wide receiver 

While this may look silly that I put all offensive positions at their needs it is true that they need this many.  The Jaguars were pitiful on offense last season, they ranked dead last in points averaging 15.4 points a game and were 31st in the run at 78.8 yards a game.  Now they no longer have Maurice Jones-Drew who was the focal point of that offense for years, they signed Toby Gerhart but that is not enough to help them.  To address the QB situation, they have Chad Henne who can start until they feel whoever else they bring in is ready.  I think the Jaguars take a QB with the number 3 pick in the draft, and that is  much needed.  As for receivers they need to draft another one because Justin Blackmon needs another player opposite of him to help him and also the QB of the future out. 

4.)Cleveland Browns 
Needs: Defensive Line, Quarterback, Receiver
The Browns ranked 18th against the run last year on defense, and with additions to their secondary this off-season they need to address the defensive line.  Jadeveon Clowney might be available here at number 4, he would be a great addition to the Browns as a whole to help start winning more games and being a little more competitive in the AFC North. The Browns also hold the 26th pick they could snag a QB there instead of at this pick.
