OMG!!! PUT WHATEVER IT IS THAT YOU ARE SMOKING DOWN, WALK AWAY AND DON'T EVER LOOK BACK!!!

Clearly I was joking... clearly.
I wanna see thomas and clowney on the same line....the gruesome twosome...1/2 of the historic all time dl draft busts.

Question: who would be the other two? These guys are way out in front though...

I wouldn't call Clowney an all time bust. He's played well at times and injuries have slowed his career to some extent. When he's motivated he can still disrupt the game but I agree he doesn't always play at a high level. I'd call him disappointing but not an all time bust

For #1 overall? Yea hes a cut above ryan leaf and todd marinovich for sure. But for other dl? Tough to name one lower. For number 1.

There have been a lot top 10 DL busts. Usually DL never goes #1 so its hard to find a comparison. Courtney Brown back in the early 2000s comes to mind.

Clowney has like 30 sacks through 60 games. it's not amazing, but its fine. he's not a bust. not sure why people call him that. i don't think he's worth the money he wants, but he's still a good player.

Clowney isn't a bust- good ( sometimes great) player- just not consistent enough to be considered an elite player. He would be the third, maybe 4th best DL is he was the 2019/2020 Niners.

As far as all-time DL busts, you have to put Andre Wadsworth on that list. He was an absolute monster in his last season at FSU. I thought he was a future HOF player.

Clowney isn't even close to a bust. He's a good player that has had some strong games. Definitely isn't worth number 1 overall but he doesn't belong in a conversation with Solomon Thomas.

Agreed. He's top 3 after Mack and Donald for overall D lineman but if he wants $23 million a year that's crazy talk
