Quote:I wouldn't be inclined to make that deal. If the Texans really don't want Clowney, why would a division rival step in and trade away extra draft picks to them? Sit back and force their hand. Either they draft him reluctantly to play in a system he may not be a good fit for, or they go in a different direction completely and he's still on the board. If Atlanta wants to trade up to get him, so be it. We'll still wind up with a premium pick, and we'll still have the additional picks in the event we decide to jump back into the first round a little later to get a QB.

 

If the team was inclined to make a trade, I don't get what the big deal is. What exactly are you worried about those picks turning into?

 

I am only saying we make a trade like that (either 2nd round this year, or 3rd round this year and 2nd round next year) if they really believe he is an HOF player. If the team believes that without a doubt then that is a very good trade.
