Clowney is a better player... but Donald is a better fit.. good pick
Donald doesn't play a position we already had 2 #1 picks in. He'll slide in quite well without a need to try to invent ways to get him and the other #1 picks on the field.Well, now that Donald is part of our family, I'll assume most are ready buy into the thought of him being a better addition than Clowney.
But let's be real... Donald is no Clowney. I love the pick, but it's really unfair to compare him to a guy who is the best D prospect since Suh. Donald is great for a #13 pick, but come on...
To be fair, there's going to be a ton of rotation no matter which guy we picked. Hayes and Langford are too good to just ride the bench and we can't forget about Alex Carrington, that guy was a beast in his limited snaps in Buffalo.Donald doesn't play a position we already had 2 #1 picks in.

I would also add:When it comes to a guy like Clowney, figuring out where to put him is a good problem to have. That's a pretty minor issue and easy to address.
As prospects, it's not close. Clowney is better. We can admit that much without putting down Donald. He's still a great pick, just not on Clowney's level. But who is?
EXACTLY...and we didn't have to draft him at #2.Donald doesn't play a position we already had 2 #1 picks in. He'll slide in quite well without a need to try to invent ways to get him and the other #1 picks on the field.
You are always going to have a rotation on the d line and having so much quality is huge.To be fair, there's going to be a ton of rotation no matter which guy we picked.

After we took him ... the first thought that came to my mind is Demarco Farr. Anyone else?Call me crazy but I would rather have Donald on the Rams defense than Clowney! He may not be huge but he is still a terror on the defensive line! I can only imagine the pass rush he, Quinn, Long and Brockers will give opposing offenses next season and for years to come!
