On that note... Tyler Bray 2013.

 

 

Oh, Tyler Bray.  I do remember that hype train a couple years back.  Good times.

 

Quote:Disruption is production my friend, you can't measure Clowney's impact on stats alone, he's a disruptive force on the defensive line and makes everyone around him better. If his motor consistently runs high he'll have a chance to be one of the best Defensive Lineman in the history of the NFL.

 

Disruption is absolutely production.

 

I have such a love-hate relationship when it comes to Clowney.  I hate that he takes some games off.  But you cannot deny the potential there.  He may be the most naturally gifted defensive end of the modern NCAA era (even above Julius Peppers and Mario Williams).  The God-given talent is undeniable and I think the right coach can turn him into a dominating force at the next level -- ironically, I believe Gus could be that guy -- but I'd still pass on Clowney for Bridgewater.

 

I've gotten to the point where, if we didn't get the top pick, Bridgewater was off the board and we could not find a trade down partner, I'd be okay with taking Clowney.  More than okay, actually.
