The Mario comparisons start now... a physical specimen who can dominate as a 4-3 DE, but lacks the kind of motor you see on someone like J.J Watt.

Going back to the 2006 draft, of Mario vs. Bush vs. VY, the right decision then was Mario. If 2014 becomes a discussion of Clowney vs. Teddy vs. Manziel (or Matthews/Barr/someone else), do the Texans look at DE once again?

Keith isn't that really an apples and oranges comparison since we already had
what we thought was our "franchise QB" in place, atleast those were Bob McNair's sentiments back in '06, whereas right now we don't have a clue about who's starting at QB for us in September ?
Besides QB, there's only about 2 other positions that are generally considered worthy of the #1 overall: OLT and a stud edge-rusher and as a non-QB candidate I see nobody else on the horizen but Clowney ?
