I think the Texans will take Clowney.
Teams in the AFC have seen the blueprint on how to beat Denver Broncos (or teams with immobile QBs): Put pressure on Manning all day.
You can only do it with elite DEs. It would be really stupid for the Texans to pass on this type of pass rusher.
They have JJ Watt and Mercilus etc. They cant score points. If you go three and out every offensive possesion your defense can only be so good. You also arent considering the back end. A good back end helps your pass rush and vise versa.
I'm hoping our back end rebounds... I'm thinking addition by subtraction (Ed Reed). 2011 & 2012, our back end held their own. So we'll see.
I'm also tired of spending all our draft picks on Defense. Since Kubiak got here, almost all of our 1st day picks have been on defense. We need to get some elite offensive talent. If I were king, we'd take Robinson #1 overall, then hope to get Yankey at the top of the second, trade into the first if I have to. Then Dante Moncrief, Jimmy Garopolo, Mettenberger, or McCarron in the third. Troy Niklas, Arthur Lynch, or Tajh Boyd in the 4th.
No doubt we need real help at QB, but I think going this way will help us more in the long run than going QB in the first.
