Here's what NFL teams will like... His frame. He's big at 6'5" 232. He's a pocket passer with good pocket awareness, ala Ben Roethlisberger. Those two items are going to appeal very heavily to Bill O'Brien. He makes fairly good decisions, and fairly good reads, that will need refinement. But to me, he throws a worse flutterball, lob pass than post-neck surgery Peyton Manning, and this kid is a rookie. I don't know if that'll hold up. I've heard rumblings that Houston is caught up between Bortles and Clowney at #1 and that Manziel really isn't in the conversation. If I'm picking at 1.1, I'm taking Manziel, period. I don't think Houston will.

They'd be reeruned not taking Clowney.
Then they can pick up Derrek Carr in the second and try to make amends to the family for basically getting his older brother killed repetitively over his time with the Texans.
