Clowney is the wildcard in this draft because talent and value-wise he's above and beyond anyone other than the big 3 QB prospects. It sucks that JAX and CLE are at #3 and #4 and need QB. Had ATL ended up with pick #3 it would've increased our trade down options considerably as I could see them potentially wanting to leapfrog STL for Clowney and we'd still have our choice between at least two of the Bridgewater/Manziel/Bortles trio. ATL at #6 is too far down for them to be an option.
As it is now we're screwed because STL has no incentive to move up and we're not going to trade with JAX at #3. Trading with CLE would be somewhat risky, but if you rank the 3 QB's close to each other and you're willing to settle on the one QB that's left or Clowney, I guess it could be an option.
Personally, I just don't see a scenario where we move down so it's either Clowney or the QB of our choice at #1.
