1. Houston Texans: Jadeveon Clowney, DE South Carolina
Short bio: Clowney disappointed during his junior campaign when his production dropped off dramatically, but no one has ever questioned Clowney’s natural ability. He’s been compared to Julius Peppers and Mario Williams.
Quick take: How does Clowney fit into Romeo Crennel’s 3-4 defense? Clowney will serve in the same role as Willie McGinest once did as an outside linebacker with the New England Patriots under Crennel’s supervision. Clowney will be asked to rush the passer. The Texans should know Clowney better than anyone. The team’s new strength coach, Craig Fitzgerald, served in the same role for South Carolina during Clowney’s freshman year.
