We should trade up.

No way we've got enough ammo to move into the top 10

Nope, he was flagged by numerous teams.

There's a reason why he's dropped out of the Top 15. I haven't heard anything about him being cleared. It's not like Lawson has worn that sling for no reason for nearly all of 2015-16.

From what I understand, he was flagged by one team.  And he was cleared at his combine medical re-check.

They said it on Path to the Draft last week...including the part about it only being one team.  It really doesn't matter, though, since he'll most likely be long gone by our pick anyway.

The superior athlete doesn't always have the superior career. Attention to Lawson doesn't take away Dodd's ability to tackle, beat his one-on-one match ups, set the edge, etc.

It does however give him the opportunity for that one on one, you can't double team everybody. Dodd is superior in flexibility, which is important, but power and speed, quick switch traits I give to Lawson. I mean we are comparing Ferrari and Lambos right now. I love both of these guys.

Yeah well they're perfect for standing in place.

 

Happy to see him putting his money to good use and wish him the best even though he was one of the worst draft picks in franchise history.  Was insanely overdrafted into a bad situation.  Didn't have the size to be a 4-3 DE or the coverage ability or explosiveness to be a 3-4 OLB.

He was rechecked and cleared. 

Research the Googles

SB Nation, CBS and NFL.com confirmed it was it was at least four teams. I suggest you re-read some of those articles again. Projections had Lawson in the Top 15 (#2-#3 DE overall) before getting flagged at the combine. What? All the sudden he's now a Top 25-30 prospect in these recent mocks? In addition, there's empirical evidence that Lawson wore that shoulder sling for most of the season. That's not fabricated.

Also, didnt Lawson refuse to bench press at the combine???

I'm not pulling this stuff out of my ass. Do some... you know... actual research. I want Lawson but not if he's damaged goods already. 

 

I live in the area. A writer for the Clemson magazine was just on our ESPN radio station. He confirmed that Lawson's shoulder is 100%, and that teams are well aware of that fact. Lots of times teams are wrong about players at the Combine. This is just one more example of that.

 

Stick to being wrong about D. Henry. At least with him, you have a small chance of being right.

Aren't we using them to trade for Henry?

Alabama's RT is hot garbage and their LT is an All American and future 1st round pick. Guess which one Dodd dominated against and which one Lawson did almost as well against while injured. Oklahoma is a similar story. Terrible RT and good LT. Dodd's playoff flourish was not as great as the stats show.

Lawson is the superior player and it's not that close in my opinion.

Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Bite the bullet, and pull the trigger. Reboot the whole thing, and start fresh. Gman needs another challenge.

If we do trade Cam and Luke. We are going to need D. Henry to take the pressure off our young up and coming QB. Sometimes you have to think outside the circle.
