Quote:Ok ? And Earl Thomas was rated as a top safety and that draft . He was a great athlete . They still needed a qb. If they took Tebow instead of Thomas where would they be now?


I'm only advocating Clowney bc he's a freak athlete and can maje a difference not bc he's just a DE

Tebow... hahah now you're reaching.

 

The point I'm making is that you don't need to draft Clowney in order to get an elite defense. Seattle did it by only using 1 first round pick on a defense starter. Good FA pickups and great later round drafting by Carrol. But thats just one instance. 1. You can't follow that blueprint for every team because they hit on like every single pick. You can't consistently do that.

 

What you can do is select a QB who might be a franchise QB and that QB will consistently give you the best chance to win.
