His points are valid concerning the draft approach, but nothing Earth shattering. It still bothers me that by picking Clowney at #2 you are drafting a rotational player. He may end up being a freak at DE...but we have not one, not two..but THREE very good DE's right now that all have productive years ahead of them. If Snisher plan to move somebody(Long? Hayes?) then it makes more sense to me. <------cue the "you can't trade Chris Long!" retort. :eek: Thats fine...but i don't think this team needs an overcrowded,over-schemed DLine when the OLiine has major holes.
Hell i'd rather draft Watkins over Clowney at #2 and i don't think we need another WR as badly as we do OLine, but Matthews/Robinson can be had at a lower slot.
Value is important i get that, but need plays a role for me also.
Rams have to trade down if Clowney is there. I look at Atlanta though, and they can theoretically just stay put at #6 and be almost guaranteed to have one of these five players sitting there: Mack(pass rusher), Barr(pass rusher) Matthews, Robinson or Lewan. All are needs and good value at #6.
This #2 pick of ours is making me nervous
