And if he's too young to decide, that old-ass judge from last night's Obama session-of-lies HAS to be too old to be a judge!

you really want the NFL draft rules etc to go to the courts?

i bet you want Donald Fehr to take over the NFLPA too.

If Clowney could come out he would be the number one pick, and I would be totally ok with it. I'd hope one of these QBs would drop late 1st or early second.

He's not taking money, not hiring an agent. Clarett was ruled ineligible before he did this.

I'm not "reaching", I'm discussing the possibilities. Let's not pretend any of us KNOW what will happen.

This isn't gonna be some piece of cake, let's take the guy #1 in April thing, no matter how much you would like it to be.

ROFL

Dude, you are funny as hell. I'll give you that.

Adding a luxury pass rusher on a team without a QB would be a stupid pick anyway.

Imagine having three guys who can rush the passer but never get to rush the passer because you can't get a lead.

Pioli would make the pick for sure.

Clowney does have rare talent. He's gonna be a beast.

But I think it's bullshit that players are forced to go to college if they are perfectly capable of earning money without college. Like look at the dude from Kentucky, all that money = gone because he was forced to go to college.

This is just another way of control. If you can come out of high school and an NBA team wants to hire you, they should be allowed to. If a football player is ready to play in the NFL and teams are willing to pay you, that shouldn't be disallowed.

After all, earning money is the only reason why people go to college. Because they want to make money!

Money is all that matters in this country, so they should be allowed to earn it.

I bet the NBA/NFL is in collusion with the NCAA. It's another way of controlling people, they are forced to go to college and will get in huge trouble if they even take any money from someone while everyone else around them are getting rich off of them. It's not right. NBA teams get another scouting year while NCAA teams make money off of them.

That's why the average tenure is like 4 years.

Wonder what we could get in order for us to swap with Jacks?

Yeah, I'm thinking that's probably not the case.

Remember when the Texans took Mario Williams #1?

Was he worth it in the end?

Taking another pass rusher, when you have 2 pro bowlers and ZILCH at QB, which is the situation the Chiefs are in, is absolutely why guys get fired.
