njbuff Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 First, will the Texans franchise Clowney? And if they do, forget it. If Clowney does become available, do you want him on the Bills? What’s the price tag going to be? How does he fit into McDermott’s scheme? Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I'd be fine with the Bills spending big money on Clowney or Demarcus Lawrence. Neither will hit the market. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndirish1978 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Lawrence and Clowney are both looking at 20M+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iinii Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 They certainly could do it but my guess is they probably won’t. I think McBeane’s pragmatism does mesh with Clowney’s price tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyBatty is alive Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Oh my god please no to Clowney, 1) he will cost waaay too much and 2) he and Hughes on the same line would be a very bad combination, both have a hair trigger on off sides and jumping the gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won’t be able to spend all this money. Give him a huge cap hit this season that will lessen the cap hits in the future 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once? three and a neutral zone infraction plus two Offside declined and/or negated.... more the year before that. Both Clowney and and Hughes together it the issue. And they tend to come at the worst time, usually on third down in critical situations where they are trying to get a jump. Actually that is just a die note, i dont want Mario #2 here, i dont think he will be worth the $. Whatever team picks him up end up with the winner's curse.

Alphadawg7 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I prefer Lawerence over Clowney but wouldn’t be upset if we got either. However I would much rather draft Oshane Ximines in the 2nd/3rd than pay $20m a year to one of these guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FeelingOnYouboty Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Clowney isn't elite enough to command the money that he'll ask for. Mario Williams was his superior. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m reading that his best fit would be as a stand up backer in a 3-4 and a situational player who may stuggle to get snaps in the NFL. A guy you wouldn’t want to use in coverage. Tight hips, limited bend...speed to power. We already have all of that covered with Shaq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Just now, njbuff said: What round is he projected to go in? He was 3rd or 4th when he was under the radar earlier being from a small school, but he’s a guy that’s garnering scouts attention now and I think he is most likely a 2nd round pick right now. Don’t be surprised if by draft time he could be potential first round pick as more people catch on to him. He would be a lock for the early first had he played at a big school with the kind of production he had. But this kids a beast and big time leader too. Captain as an under classman, intelligent and a Deans list student, and major competitor. Love to draft this kid. 3 years from now when they look back at this draft I think he will be one of the best defensive players to come out of it.

There are some varying opinions on him, but combine will show what he’s really got and it’s gonna surprise some people. I expect he will be one of the defensive stars at the combine. And with small school players, there is often even more info warfare that goes on trying to deflect buzz on lesser known players so teams may have better chance of landing a player. Hes high on my wish list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turftoe Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 When we signed Mario Williams we were more in desperation mode. This draft has some good pass rushers for a whole lot less $. Clowney is not a franchise type guy but he will be paid as such. Pass on this move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
