Jadeveon Clowney impacts Cleveland Browns, Seattle Seahawks, Titans draft

What impact is Jadeveon Clowney having on these team’s drafts?

Let’s assume that all three of these teams are still in on Clowney in some form or fashion because…well they are.

Whether explicitly stated or not, these teams aren’t going to completely forget about a guy of Clowney’s caliber on a one year deal. That potential is going to shade how teams look at the NFL Draft.

Specifically, this is what I think it does to those teams.

Cleveland Browns:

While we likely won’t know what they really think about Clowney, there is a chance that the Browns go with an EDGE early and put the rest of their efforts into making a short jump up from the 2nd round to pick up an OT late in the 1st round.

With many teams believing that this OT class is very talented, the Browns could either have their pick of the third or fourth-best OT with their current pick or they could take the second-best EDGE and move up for another 1st round OT later. Their thought process will tell us how much the potential of Clowney intrigues them.

Seattle Seahawks:

Seattle is in a unique position because they are right on top of a teams that could start a run on EDGEs. The Tennessee Titans and Baltimore Ravens are right underneath the Seahawks and if the Titans don’t think that Clowney is a lock, EDGE is a very clear option at 29.

By forgoing on EDGE here they would increase the chances of landing Clowney because the Titans would be very unlikely to sign Clowney after drafting someone like A.J. Epenesa or Marlon Davidson in the 1st.

Tennessee Titans:

If the Titans think that they are in the driver’s seat for Clowney we could almost guarantee that they would go CB in round 1. Guys like Justin Madubuike and Marlon Davidson would be ruled out because of the redundancy at the position.
