#1 Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Jadeveon Clowney, DE (Trade down with Houston for third round pick and #7)
Rory’s Take: I truly believe a team will trade up for Clowney, and the Bucanners make a ton of sense. The Lovie Smith defense requires pass rush and with McCoy inside and the addition of Michael Johnson who is best suited as a left defensive end, trading a third to get Clowney would be ideal.
Chase’s Take: Houston are looking like they want a quarterback and could potentially trade down to do so, if so a Top Ten team in this draft could swoop in and make a power move to bring in Clowney and bolster their defensive line. I would advise against trading down, but it might be hard for them to say no if they feel they can get their guy later in the top picks of the draft.
