Quote:Clowney would be the most logical choice.  A vastly improved pass rush will be an absolute necessity to balance out what we can expect from Henne and the offense.

 

My thing is I don't think we can realistically expect to win any shootouts with any of these teams, even if we went all offense in this draft.  You couldn't expect rookies to come in at QB, WR, C, and RG (to say nothing of the fact Joeckel is still basically a rookie given his lack of NFL experience) and go score for score with these accomplished QBs.  Besides, we will basically be reconstructing the OL from tackle to tackle.

 

As it stands now (and I know a lot can change in a couple of weeks), the Skins, Bolts, Colts, and Steelers have vulnerabilities along the offensive line. 

 

To me, the surest way to get through this stretch of games with a respectable record is to have at least one guy who can exploit their OL, pressure their QB into some turnovers, and flip field position and momentum.
