Today's defenses are harder to lump into 3-4 or 4-3. They become situational based on down and distance. I'm not sure Watt is as explosive off the edge as he is in the line but I wouldn't be surprised if he excelled. Texans might even become more 5-2 on early downs.
One of my all-time favorites was Karl Mecklenberg who just lined up all over the field and created mismatches - too quick for interior linemen, too strong for TEs and RBs to block, fast enough to stay with backs down the field or to play a zone coverage.
If we drafted Clowney, you could set up a defense where he and Watt just roam all over the defensive line and create mismatches then unleash some really good edge rushers and you'd overwhelm a lot of opposing offenses.
