Quote: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.

How am I reaching ? Same draft same year. Hasselbeck was on the decline and they traded for whitehurst. How would reaching for Manziel be any different than them picking Tebow?


Yes Thomas is one player but he is their deep safety and makes the field shorter like Ed Reed and makes everyone's life easier. CBs can press and not worry about being burnt. Kam can take care of the underneath without having two deep safety's . The rush doesn't have to get there as quick.


Yes one huge playmaker like Clowney could do that if he lives up to his potential. Bridgewater who I have 2nd could to but I dint have him over Clowney
