I don't see what Clarke is going to learn in his 3rd year that is going to get him on the field. It would help the team more to cut bait and get someone on the 53 that can actually contribute.
Pretty much every draft pick deserves at least 2 years. There might be some exceptions, but they are very rare.
After a guy has spent two years in an NFL weight program and learning the schemes it is hard to find a rookie that can just step in and replace him. But all you have to do is look at Devin Still, Orson Charles, Dontay Moch, Chase Coffman, and many others to see what the Bengals do with draft picks that can't cut it. It is absurd to claim that we keep them around for "several years".
