1st off...He's no Bruce...Not even close...Maybe he will be someday...But he's no where near as clean a prospect on the field as Bruce, Reggie, or LT...Not even remotely close...
You would be giving up two 1st's , 2 seconds, and a 3rd for one player who is not a QB, only had 3.5 sacks in his Sr year, and is WAY more freak athlete then he is football player at this point...Sure he could reach his ceiling and be the next greatest thing at DE in the NFL...But it's a gamble...And other than the QB position it's not worth the gamble when you are talking about giving up 5 premium picks over a three year span...If 1st-3rd round are the premium picks, you're talking about giving up 5 of your 9 premium picks from 2014-2016 for one player and he's not a QB...That's idiocy...No...It's dumber than that...DE's don't win championships in this league...Not unless they have a crap-ton of help, especially from their QB...JJ Watt is arguably the best DE in the NFL and his team is picking 1st in this Draft...What does that tell you?
I'm not trying to say I would not like Clowney, or that he will never be a great player...I am saying the only way I would want him is if he slid to #9 overall...Then I'm AOK with it...
Exactly...I think the Bills are willing to part with their 3rd this year...Maybe their 2nd next year if they get desperate...But nothing more...And I think that's a good thing...
