Quote:Right but Clowney is pretty fast, so does his size exclude him? Or is it ok as long as the player is fast enough?

I think we'll have to wait until the combine to actually check his speed, watching his game against UCF (the game kodiak scouted bortles) he seemed like he would be able to get around the edge but the one thing i was suprised is even with a full head of speed bortles was able to outrun him and get the ball thrown away, so it makes me wonder how much run down speed he has. But on the other hand, Bortles wasn't able to turn the ball up feild either to gain yards, and the annoucners said that clowney has the speed and takes the right angles to deny the QB from being able to turn a play like that into a play which most mobile qbs would be able to turn into a positive run gain. so perhaps he does have the speed to do it, But realistically, Think of this possiblity. We take clowney and line him up at the right end, then put andre branch in the leo with the way he's been developing. This takes him off the line where he hasn't done well, and puts him in a more mobile position which it seems he's having the most success with thusfar this season. Clowney demands the on the line off the ball double team to stop him, freeing up a blocker for branch to rush the QB.

Quote:Clowney or Barr in the 1st and McCarron or Bortles in the 2nd. Yes and thank you. If we have to and Caldwell feels like Mccarron or Bortles wont be there in the 2nd, then trade back into the first to get em

What about trading down in the first to get Bortles and collecting a second round or multiple later round picks (3rd and then some) then trading back up into the second round to grab some defense or O line help. If we trade down in the 1st and accumulate more picks we'll have 11+ draft picks to mess around with this draft.
