Clowney is a Brownie

Clowney will be a very nice addition.

Not a fan of this move

Very solid, we're taking it all this year

Don't think of Clowney as a past #1 overall pick.. think of him as Olivier Vernon. For those of you who don't click links, their performances last year were separated by 0.1
Realistic expectations are key.. if you expect Myles Garrett, he'll disappoint. If you expect Curtis Weaver, you'll be happy.
As to who to take.. I'd say this allows us to sit back and see which top-20 defensive talent falls to us. The pool of not-elite-but-pretty-good is a large one.

It is All about rotating DUDES upfront. We’ve acquired the dudes now. Still want a DE/DT within first couple picks.
This is a Great signing if Clowney is on 40-50% snap pitch count.
We are finally assembling depth where we can keep guys fresh with little to no drop off.

I'm expecting a better run stopper and faster, quicker version of Vernon. The room just got a lot better for depth as SdBacker points out. Fresh legs sure worked for TB.

So I'm here to expect an injured rookie who has never taken an NFL snap...?

Just for context: Clowney 2020 // Vernon 2020.
We don't have a drastic need into which a first-round pick will be thrown. Who are you, Andrew Berry, and what have you done with Berea?

What Berry is doing- is: this is our year, we're going for it all. Apparently Berry doesn't see any edge talent at #26 superior toJavedon. I hope it's just another one year contract for Clowney.
We've bolstered the secondary in FA- it allows us to take the best LB on the board in the first round.

Let’s be real here with the Vernon/Clowney comparison.

I don’t think it matters we have a lot of key contributors on potential one year deals...(free agents or could be cut before 2022 with little to no penalty). We can go in any number of directions including edge rusher at 26.
But id rule out QB, LT, RT, RB, K, P

Sig bet it's either DB or WR (barring Micah Parsons miracle drop)

Applying context to stats. The past two seasons he's been on Subpar pass rushing fronts. So naturally he will draw the extra assignment as the largest threat... But in this case it was pretty much by default. Harold Landry is an ok player, but JD hasn't been on the line with any high end talent since Watt. Yes, that includes me considering Poona Ford and Jurrel Casey.

Yep...And of course I’d expect less double teams on the Browns and fewer snaps (fingers crossed). So he’s fresh and dealing with one on one battles coming after the QB in the 4th quarter because we are playing ahead.
we need dudes and we got another one...we have to chase Burrow and Lamar 4 times a year.

Visit rescheduled for Wed. Still a definite maybe (maybe not).?

Two years in a row Clowney visits us and says we're not a good fit. What happened? Best guess - Clowney found out there is no market for someone who played 8 games with zero sacks last year. Having said that, I'm happy to have him if it's a reasonable contract. I could see him being a locker room cancer with his selfishness, but this is the closest we've ever been to being contenders, so you got to take some chances.

Pass.

This tells me that his knees passed some sort of physical. Injuries robbed Clowney of some of freakiness but there's no doubt he can be a force...especially against single blocking assignments and especially if he doesn't have to play every snap. This could be an extremely important signing...make it happen. I also think this means we're going CB in the draft.

Knees haven't been an issue the past two seasons. Recently missed times have been core injuries.

This...
Pass.
Signing him so opponents' Offenses have more trouble doing so.
