Cleveland is currently 0-2 and 6th overall in defense. What exactly is Clowney going to improve next season if they have the same QB's that aren't getting the job done? Clowney is the perfect pick for a team that already has a franchise QB but Bridgewater is looking like he could be a difference maker like Luck, RG3, and Wilson.

They can be first in the league in defense and win games on defense.
I think there's more than enough evidence to prove that "drafting for need" is a flawed philosophy as opposed to "best player available" Clowney is a can't miss stud. He doesn't even have to be DL. He's fast enough to be used as OLB in a 3-4 defense. Take a QB in the later rounds or even in 2015.
If they don't take Clowney, they really don't have a plan.
