Lee Smith has started a lot of games in this league and obviously has value to NFL teams- just not to message board posters fixated on fantasy statistics.
This is inaccurate. They got a 2nd and Gaines for Sammy. They used the 2nd to move up for Allen. They spent a third on KB, which was obviously a disaster of a deal. Funny how people often mention this deal but not, say, the Tyrod trade...
I just feel like a 26 year old Clowney has immense upside in this defense. He's exactly what McD likes at end, and I think he has been misused in Houston.
I hate looking at next years draft class this far out. Things always change.
Fair point but I see no scenario where we would be using our 1st next year on a QB. Even if Allen is not the guy, we probably won't no for at least another year.
I'd do it, Clowney is a perfect fit for this D and could make it special.
I don't think Houston would take less, I mean they could just keep him for the year, let him walk, and then get a high comp pick.
I really like Sweeney. Long wingspan and extremely strong hands to catch Allen's fastballs. His hands really stand out. I think he makes the team and might have more of an immediate impact than Knox- who has more upside but needs more development- IMO.
