Clowney note

[bikerack]

My friend with the team says Texans fans should start drinking now.

Sounds like Tunsil will not be included and the trade will be for a couple of players and a pick. That pick may be conditional and improve to a 2nd or 3rd depending on how Clowney performs.

Edit to add - he also said the situation is still fluid and nothing is locked in. A lot of these Miami rumors may be leaked to get another team to get off the pot.

Dolphins have two picks in seemingly every round but the first. Their RB talent is weak with Kenyan Drake and Kalen Ballage set to split time. Although Kenneth Farrow, the former UH star, is in their camp and has played well in every setting he's been put in from college to AAF to Miami pre-season.

I would probably make a pitch of Clowney for Drake, DE Nate Orchard (size and speed translate to 3-4 OLB), a first, second and third. That fills some holes and sets us up for the draft.

Another option is Joey Mbu, another former UH Cougar who is second on their depth chart at NT.

Stills is the guy I keep hearing.

This is why my friend said to start drinking. The return won't be anywhere close to that. The best he thinks is a player or two (one of which may have been cut anyway) and a 2nd (which will at least probably be a very early 2nd).

That is where you show some Clowney highlight tapes and tell them "you're thisclose to getting this guy if you'll just part with an extra third. Whaddayasay?"

Latest from the Miami Herald:

The Houston Texans have dangled a first-round draft choice and Pro Bowl edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney in a proposed trade for Dolphins left tackle Laremy Tunsil, but the Dolphins have asked for more than that, according to two league sources.
According to one person briefed on the discussions, the Dolphins have asked the Texans for another high draft pick in addition to Clowney and a first-round pick.

Ugh. I might do that for Dillard, but not Tunsil...

Or maybe this is just Miami playing the media.
