What would you do if you were the Texans?

[Cary Kollins]

No one actually believes that Clowney could've gone from HS senior to NFL starter. The kid would've gotten CRUSHED. There is no one at the HS level who is ready to physically compete in the trenches at the NFL level.

His floor is Peppers? You cannot possibly be serious.

Just for shits and giggles I googled "clowney peppers" just now and first thing that came up:

An AFC executive believes Jadeveon Clowney's floor is a Julius Peppers or Mario Williams-esque career.

That's floor. The quote comes on the same day where 14-of-21 scouts polled by the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel called Clowney the best player in this year's draft class. Despite months (and months) of overanalyzing, Clowney remains the odds-on favorite to go No. 1 overall. May. 6 - 9:20 pm et

Damn I should be an NFL exec.

Clowney, just take BPA.  QB is their greatest need but there isn't one of #1 overall value.

[heel31ok]

it would be foolish to do anything but take clowney.

 

 

unless someone is offering a ridiculous combination of picks (like 3 1st rounders and more).

 

 

grab a qb in the second. they could luck out with bridgewater.

they would luck out if the got Bridgewater in the second. i think it would be foolish to draft Clowney and not let him play his natural position.

1, Trade down

2. Take Clowney

3. Take...gulp, Manziel. My reasoning? I think he's going to be decent, but not a star. At the same time, Houston has superb talent compared to most teams drafting #1 and can make him a Russel Wilson type guy. Not to mention, he's going to sale tickets/jersey, and this is a business.

I want Manziel in Houston. I think the Texas should trade out for 2 firsts and a 2nd at the least then take manziel at whatever position they move back to

Trade the pick to the Failcons....

 

Sit back and enjoy my high 1st round pick next year since the Failcons will remain in the South's basement for years to come.

in the end he's being drafted for his insane pass rush ability. + he has shown he is more than athletic enough to drop back occasionally. the guy is a freak, he'll be able to do anything asked of him.

If I were the Texans, I'd draft Sammy Watkins, and trade him for the Panthers' 7th rounder.

[Goondal]

I would spend the entire time up until the final minute trying to swing a trade.  If I did not get what I wanted I would draft Clowney.

 so the texans have said they woould move him to olb in the 3-4 and if so Mack is the better 3-4 OLB. why not just draft the better player if the position has already been established?

would love to see thm fall further behind by giving up more to get a little more.

well it's purely speculative to say who the better player is. mack is a beast, no doubt, and has experience playing the position... but guys like clowney don't come around often. who knows, clowney could end up being the best 3-4 OLB ever.

 

i'm not saying he will be, but i would still draft clowney if i were the texans.

I don't think there is wrong answer just don't see passing up Clowney for a player ranked right there with him as a major mistake or even a minor one.  If i were the Texans I would hope for a trade and more picks. These guys are good but that still leaves a major issue on the other side of the ball.
