Alphadawg7 Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Shocked? I fully expect it...he's going number 1 if the Texans keep the pick
sodbuster Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Shocked? I fully expect it...he's going number 1 if the Texans keep the pick Yup. And maybe even if they don't.
oman128 Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 If Mack goes 1, then trading up for the 2nd pick Clowney, maybe doesn't cost as much.
SBUffalo Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 I was 100% certain that it'd be Clowney no matter who owned the pick, but I backed off and now think it'll be Mack. If it is then Clowney may end up dropping to three which would be the launching point for trades if Jacksonville doesn't take him.
VanCity Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 If Mack goes 1, then trading up for the 2nd pick Clowney, maybe doesn't cost as much. Truthfully, that is probably the opposite of what will occur. Clowney drops and the cost for #2 reaches what it would have cost for 1.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 I got a feeling that Mack will be just an average player. Everyone talks about the Ohio St game, which was great but I watched three of his games against teams in the MAC and he was invisible. Now that isn't enough games to fully judge a player but until he proves it in the NFL I'm skeptical.
machine gun kelly Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 If he is valued as much as the hype from the Ohio State game then it would make sense for Houston to take him as they run a 3-4, and he is perfect in that environment. With us going with Schwartz, and back primarily to a 4-3, it doesn't make sense for Buffalo to move up for him, but it does for Clowney. Personally, I'd love Clowney in our defense.

I agree with everything except the indication that he doesn't fit a 4-3. He can play four positions in a 4-3. He'd be a great 4-3 SAM.
Gordio Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 When was the last time a LB went #1 overall? I can't think of any instances.
Mark80 Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 When was the last time a LB went #1 overall? I can't think of any instances. Aundray Bruce 1988. How did that work out? Oh, and the time before that? 1979, Tom Cousineau to the...Buffalo Bills.
Gordio Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Aundray Bruce 1988. How did that work out? Oh, and the time before that? 1979, Tom Cousineau to the...Buffalo Bills. Yeah that is what I figured. Clowney is the pick @ the one spot. I can't believe any team would think differently in this draft.
KD in CA Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 ok, I won't be. I will. I'm confirming right here that despite all the warnings, I will be shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, if Mack goes #1.

The Big Cat Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 I got a feeling that Mack will be just an average player. Everyone talks about the Ohio St game, which was great but I watched three of his games against teams in the MAC and he was invisible. Now that isn't enough games to fully judge a player but until he proves it in the NFL I'm skeptical. I agree. He'll likely drop to nine. But if we draft him, it should only be so we can turn around and trade him for John Skelton. I don't care if he is a free agent.
Mark80 Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 A sample size of two is relevant? Just answered the question guy. Said nothing about Mack or it's relevance to taking him #1.
