Clay is not a perennial pro-bowler, but he's good at everything and a very good pass-rusher. If we had 11 copies of him, our defense would be stout. Having someone to perform at or near his level is a pretty good thing.

But he is a perennial pro-bowler. He has made the pro bowl every year except 2013, when he dealt with the broken thumb.

So then the question is: Should he be??

Of course he is; tough to name ten outside LB's better than him as is. If he plays a whole season you'd be hard pressed to find 2 or 3 better. Guys who make big plays carry value. If you have two or three of them they can make a lot of lesser players look better.

Agreed.
