If we take Clowney, we have to be ready to accept we won't be in a position to draft a QB at 1-1 for some time in the future but then you have to ask if Bortles is worth a 1-1 and if he isn't, what alternate plan would be suggested for getting a QB who can be a SB-caliber quarterback.

I tried my trade-ups in the simulator and they were not getting accepted, although I could not add Yates or Keenum to the deal like I'd like to.

The alternate plan would be to develop a solid supporting cast led by the defense, that way a team can get a "SB-caliber quarterback" in the second or third round just as San Fran and Seattle did.
