    Texans Still not Sold on Clowney

    They would probably take him if they can't work out a trade before the draft, but he may not be with them later in the evening.


    Former Texans GM Charley Casserly said Friday on NFL Network's "NFL AM" that Houston isn't sold on South Carolina edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney due to scheme fit.

    "I don't think they're sold on Clowney to fit in the '34' defense," Casserly said. Casserly thinks the Texans might be higher on Buffalo OLB Khalil Mack, but would only take him if they can trade down a few spots. Mack, a 3-4 OLB in college, "is a better fit in the '34' than Clowney," said Casserly. If the Texans can't work out a trade, according to Casserly, "they're going to take" Clowney.

    I'm not sold on that tough guy either frankly. Im expecting him to get chucked to the wind.

    What LAZY player was ever worth the first overall pick? Houston should trade this pick for multiple good picks and let some other team get scammed by the CLOWN. Kiper and McShay are diddlers who fall for a kid because of his body, size, biceps, abs, speed, etc. Clowney had 2 sacks--count 'em, 2-- last year in the SEC!!......and now he's supposed to wow us in the Pros......NOT! Another Haynesworth.

    I think you mean Haynesworth post-Titans. Haynesworth was incredible his last 2 years in Tennessee.

    If they can't find room for Clowney they may as well deal the pick and stock up. No qb in class is worth picking that early.

    Texans are playing mind games with other teams for leverage they are going to trade the pick.

    They aren't passing on this guy

    Maybe they trade down for someone else to pick him, but he's going first

    Lots of people trying to sound smart predicting he will be a bust....zero clue

    Something about Clowney just makes me scared to draft a lazy player like that. When things get tough with lazy players, they quit.

    I don't believe any of this garbage that comes out before the draft. It's all a smoke screen.

    Texans would love Mack, but won't take him at #1. They can take Clowney and see who drafts Mack and work a trade then. Same goes with team that drafts QBs.

    A team that lost 14 games has plenty of room for Clowney. The ones they have now are not better else they wouldn't have lost 14 games.

    Mack is the best player in the draft imo but won't be a top 3 pick. Texans need to move down and acquire more draft picks.

    any team dumb enough to waste a 1st round pick on manzero will come to regret it.

    If you're not gonna trade down and you don't have faith in Clowney, than yes.

    He's not slipping to the 3rd round.

    Otherwise don't draft a quarterback at all. Bortles and Bridgewater won't amount to jack squat in the league. And the rest aren't worth consideration as a #1 overall. The Texans picked a bad year to be the worst team in the league, because this draft doesn't have a true #1 on paper.

    IF Texans draft a QB, it will be Bortles.

    Yeah, they'll take Bortles at the behest of coach O'Brien, but I don't expect fireworks from that guy. The word "serviceable" comes to mind.

    bortles is the only qb worth drafting in the 1st round. the rest are 3rd or later talent.

    but if texans trade down, they wont get bortles cause jags or browns will take him.

    Texas pick Clowney and Falcons pick Borttles and then trade him to Texans with Falcons 2nd round pick plus 1st round pick for next year.

    So many guys hailing Bortles as a can't miss qb. 90% of them had no clue who he was prior to this past fall. Ask them what Blake Bortles was before Sep 13 and you'd hear things like "uhh a fat white girl on some show" or "a kind of wine cooler". Nobody named Blake fukking Bortles is going to be a great qb in NFL.

    Then why would they be open to moving down? I'm thinking the guy theyve wanted is khalil mack, more natural fit in 34 than clowney anyhow.


    Don't see what's so great about bortles. Not a guy who's going to step in and win anymore games than Houston did last year. Still needs a lot of work and arm is nothing special as well.

    no one heard of phil simms either.

    bortles is the best qb in the draft bar none. he's the prototypical qb (6-4 230lbs) and most nfl ready. no one heard of him cause he played at ucf. but put up some awesome numbers against south carolina, penn st, louisville and baylor.

    bortles will be the golden boy of the draft, guaranteed.

    Nowhere near the most NFL ready. Heshould be staying in college another year but he bought into his own hype and is chasing the money. Even his own coach said he shouldnt be playing in the NFL next year

    Didn't play in a pro style offense
    Very simplistic routes
    Doesn't/can't make pre snap adjustments
    Doesn't have a strong arm. You'd think a guy 64 would have more strength then hes showed
    Poor deep.ball
    Not overly accurate. Almost threw an interception on a bubble screen which is pretty much the safest throw

    He didn't play well vs south carolina either. Doesn't really have any games that blow you away . Just don't see it. For a qb needy team, in a draft this talented, not taking a first on him. Makes sense for like arizona/cincy where he doesn't have to start right away but he's
