For me it depends on if I get the guys I have targeted with my first 4 picks. I would say 5th or 6th rd if you really want to make sure that you get him.
Clowney's TFL and pressures are very impressive. He is easily a top 10 pass rusher, if we could get him for a 2rd and a 4th I would do it in a heartbeat if his contract demands are reasonable. The Texans don't have the cap space to re-sign Clowney so they have very little leverage in a trade.
I agree that he has lost a little but he is still a good route runner, has good hands and seems to settle into open gaps in the defense. He is easily better than Zay Jones even if he has slowed down a little bit.
They have so much crowd noise pumped into that stadium it’s not even funny and should be banned or fined. The have the worst 1st down saying “ That’s another Miami Dolphins 1st down”. I’m just waiting for the ocean to rise high enough to delete that team from history.
I feel like keeping Allen’s jersey clean should be the number 1 priority with the 1st rd pick even if they feel like they need to trade back. I think there are two LT’s that I would easily pick at 9. The better we protect Allen and keep him healthy for 16 games the faster he will develop.
We will without a doubt have the ability to trade down with this many talented defensive players available. This draft is going to be very exciting.
If you have a top 10 pick and a top player drops to you that plays DE, LT or QB I feel like you have to draft them. If you also have a need at that position it’s a no brainer. You rarely see top 10 players in those positions make it to FA. Plus I have a feeling we won’t be drafting near the top 10 for a while.
I don’t think any of the WR’s in this draft are 1st rd talents. Plus you add in how stong the defensive players are in this draft and the two very good LT’s and I would be blown away if we drafted a WR at 9
I think if we released Croom right now that he would be lucky to make it onto another team. If we sign D. Allen and draft a TE I’m 90% sure he’s getting cut.
I think if D. White is available that he is BPA. LB's that can cover, tackle and rush the passer are few and far between. I'm torn between D. White and Jonah Williams, I would be extremely happy with either of these players at 9.
