This guy is probably a real possibility at 28 if he's still there, 17 is probably too high but 28 would be a great spot to pick him up. He doesn't look much like a defensive end for the Patriots but he looks like he could convert to outside linebacker. He runs very well sideline to sideline but may struggle in coverage but can work on that over time. The good part about this pick is that Clayborn has a lot of upside as a pass rushing outside linebacker but also has time to develop and not be thrown into the fire due to the prescence of Ninkovich and Cunningham. Clayborn plays with a ton of passion and could be a huge pay off pick for the Patriots.
