Clowney joins a defense under Romeo Crennel that's very friendly to its OLBs/rush ends [see Justin Houston & Tamba Hali] b/c he runs a more traditional 2-gap 3-4 that frees up its linebackers to make plays, especially off the edge. With Watt drawing double teams, Clowney will be seeing some 1-on-1 opportunities for the first time since Pee Wee League. Recipe for an easy 10+ sack rookie campaign. Meanwhile, Sammy has a more complex role/playbook to learn, and he can't change the fact he has EJ Manuel throwing the ball, so I give the nod to Clowney due to circumstance.
