this is dumb. they won what, 2 games with a top 10 defense already? take the best QB available.

You don't just blow the first pick on a QB because it's your biggest need. You draft based on needs and value. Most people feel there is plenty of value in waiting on a QB this year since there are no Andrew Lucks this year. The best available QB really isn't head and shoulders above the 4th or 5th best available. But Clowney is clearly head and shoulders above other pass rushers in the draft.

As a non-Texans fan, I think it'd be a pretty solid move.

This is the route I've been wanting them to take since day 1. Actually, I would really like to see them swap picks with Cleveland, taking Cleveland's 4th and 26th(?).

The one argument that I have heard regarding drafting Clowney that I kind of interesting is that you're about to give JJ $100M+, what happens after Clowney's rookie deals runs out? It is likely that he could command similar money. Making it nearly impossible to keep both, only having Clowney for 4 years.
