The Clowney Hypothetical

[Questfor6]

If there really is any truth to that tweet today I decided to run a fanspeak mock with that scenario. So with that in mind I traded our 2015 pick alongwith another first round pick(Claiborne) to STL.

Good draft

You gave up essentially three 1st rd picks on a DE, the picked another DE in the 2nd rd.
Wow
But they are both good picks...just a bit overkill maybe?
Good draft though

I thought heavily on taking Latimer from IU at 47 but my guess is Lawrence would be BPA on their board at that point. Best options there were Roby, Gabe Jackson, Lawrence, & Latimer.

No thanks. Clowney is not worth 2 #1's + Claiborne. We had D-Ware the greatest DE/OLB the last 10 years and without help around him it did us no good. Great players with nothing around them just put up nice stats and no meaningful wins. That's how you become middle of the pack defensively or even worse if that player shows any decline at all or has an "off year"

I agree with an earlier poster.. If you give up all that to get Clowney he is your RDE.. you don't take another one in the 2nd..
