I would play Clowney at RE or LE.  Even if he doesn't start right away, I'd take him.  Injuries happen... trades happen... poor play happens.  It's not really about what happens immediately after drafting him.  But in 2 years - whether or not Quinn and Long are playing at a high level for the Rams isn't a sure thing.  I know nothing is a sure thing, but I just think you have to take the BAP, regardless or position most of the time.  Especially if it's a pass rusher - you really can't have too many good pass rushers ever.

 

I think a tackle at 2 overall isn't a smart idea anyway when I think about it more and more...  I would rather build the O-line with 2nd and 3rd rounders that you take nearly every year or through free agency.

 

For instance - even undrafted Cam Bradfield has held his own playing LT this year.  I don't think he's been that big of a liability.  If you get that consistently from Bradfield - it makes drafting a LT at #2 overall kind of seem almost silly.  I think it's more about the entire unit - I'd rather have 5 solid O Lineman than an allpro LT with 2 guards that suck.
