Totally agree with this. If a great offer is not there before the draft starts, they'll take Clowney and try to move him as the draft progresses. It's more difficult for the receiving team to do this sort of deal because of the draft pick and salary slotting, but the Manning/River trade shows it can be done and it should be slightly easier now that it's not such a massive financial investment a the top of the draft.
