is jadeveon clowney worth a kings ransom?

Thinking about next years draft....Clowney will go top 3. Is he worth our entire draft next year ala Ricky Williams? I'd say so, especially considering that we have 14 picks this year, and are loaded with cheap talent. In fact, I would argue that getting Clowney would be more efficient then getting 3-4 players who would barely make the team, let alone be a starter. We have studs in every area. Teaming Clowney with Aldon would make arguably the best pass rushing duo in recent memory. Before you call me crazy, think about the cost/benefit and consider how many picks we have vs how many we need

we can probably trade our 63rd pick for a first rounder next year and our carolina's pick for a second next year. Maybe we can, but would it be necessary?

How is he in coverage?

Myth #1: You need to be good in coverage to be a premier 3-4 OLB

If not for injury, Aldon Smith may very well smashed the single season sack total and in 2 seasons, he is already on pace to be the all time leader. I don't see us doing a Julio Jones type deal to get this guy. He is gonna end up going to a very bad team and I doubt he does what Aldon does here. Great player no doubt, but no to the King's Ransom is my vote. College production does not equate to NFL production
