Can Ross pull off something this year that gets us Clowney next year?

[Montsta]

Tropic Thunder is great. What do you mean you people?

[LinvilleGorge]

Remember Courtney Brown at PSU? A lot of people thought Lavar Arrington's success was all due to him. He was the #2 overall pick. BUST.

There's no such thing as a sure thing in the draft. There are busts and sleepers every year.

[CatMan72]

Clowney is a beast, but we have much more pressing needs.

I wonder if Pats and Packers fans sat around asking "What can we do to get Andrew Luck?"

[TheMaulClaw]

Hardy is probably gonna test free agency. We may have more of a need at DE when Clowney enters the draft then posters think.

[Montsta]

I hope Hardy stays here. Dude is just the right amount of insane.

[SCMunnerlyn1]

Just Because

[Catalyst]

He wasn't even blocked on that big hit...

I agree, but we're just not gonna be able to match what other teams are going to throw at him. Releasing Gross and Gamble is really our only way out.

Dude had 5 sacks against Clemson.

[Montsta]

Just Because

Reminds me of mutant league football. Well done.

Damn...what a reference ftw.

And that would be why he was double teamed all day. To avoid that.

meh, if we miss out on Clowney you'll have a shot a Robert Nkemdiche, who is supposed to be better than him, 2 years later

Lol what? Do you even follow recruiting? Besides being a headcase, Nkemdiche isn't rated nearly as high as Clowney.

Clowney had one of the highest ratings ever, a once in a decade player. Every recruitnik says he'd be the first player taken if he came out this year, and multiple GMs anonymously said they would take him straight out of high school in the first round if they could.

Nkemdiche is the best defensive end of his year with a bad case of entitlement who got 5 of his friends scholarships before decommiting from that school.

Humongous difference. Now, Hand (2014 recruit) might be around as good as Clowney, but he still isn't on the same level.
