2 first round draft picks? Possibly.

If he got a sack and an INT in a game against NFL talent, then he is already well past what we have here.  He isn't going to dominate a team like Bama when they game plan against him.  As far as his negative play, I get that he got caught in overpursuit if he was trying to make a play when they were down.  

He has the length, strength, and athleticism that we need on the right side.  Although some are quick to quote stats about things like "hurries", MJ is the absolute weak link on the defensive line, and needs replaced.  Clarke isn't the every down answer, but he could at least provide some pressure rotating inside.
