Teams looking to trade into the draft's top spot will have to pay a steep price, as Fox Sports' Jay Glazer is reporting that the Houston Texans are looking for three first-round picks and a second-rounder in return for the No. 1 overall pick.

The deal would be the same as the one the Washington Redskins gave to the St. Louis Rams in order to secure Robert Griffin III with the No. 2 pick in 2012. Glazer added that he had not heard of any of the teams in the top 10 being willing to give up so much for the No. 1 this year.
