Or they just aren't sold on the top QB prospects and love Clowney. It isn't crazy to have a need at QB but take a crazy prospect like Clowney ahead of QBs you aren't sure of. I think they'll take clowney just because they think he is the best player who will have the biggest impact in the league.
No, its Julius Peppers over David Carr and Joey Harrington IMO. Some pass rushers are just as valuable as a high level QB. you would feel silly watching Clowney's HOF induction ceremony for another team because you forced yourself to draft based on need instead of talent
I think Clowney is a legit #1 pick, I'd just be weary of the injuries over the last year for whoever takes him. Three foot injuries (all same foot) and a rib injury may not be too serious but the foot thing could be something to look out for..
Couldn't you just easily say that for anyone that looks good on paper though coming from college?
Bone spurs, right? something that seems like a pain tolerance thing to me, but what do I know. I also think it is correctable with surgery unless I am mistaken
Clowney is the best DL prospect since Mario Williams, Peppers, Suh ect. he isn't just another talent that looks good on paper coming out of college.
Yeah I think he's had his surgery now that the seasons over, or will be having it shortly.
