The Claiborne Watch

[Panthro]

To me the Minnesota Vikings pose the biggest threat to take him at #3.

#3 Minnesota - Claiborne/Blackmon (reports they aren't impressed with Kalil) Their pass d was ranked one of the worst. Overpaid Carlson a TE. Need more weapons.

#4 Browns - Kalil They have Joe Hayden but have a need for a #2. Good draft for CBs though.

#5 Bucs - Trent Richardson I could also see them trading back to stock pile. Maybe Cincy wants to move up and grab Richardson. Bucs have Talib, Wright, Barber (hes been invited back)

#6 Rams - Blackmon if he's there...or Reiff. signed Finnegan to a huge contract

#7 Jaguars - Coples/Ingram Maroons when it comes to drafting. My fear is they are a possible trade up partner to snag a Claiborne

#8 Miami - I now see them taking A) Tannehill if available or B) Malcom Floyd

I strongly see someone trading up into the Jags spot. That'll suck for us.

[SOJA]

not that I doubt you but do you have a link to Minnesota not being impressed with Kalil?

[carolina-chuck]

let him fall!!!!!!

only serious competitor is the browns. he he falls past the hands of the browns. we can start singing claiborne

and no way vikings doesnt take kalil. gotta protect ponder after just releasing hutch, and hearrarar how ever you spell his name. all they have now is charlie johnson and loadholt

If Claiborne isnt as good as PP7 was then should he really be considered a top 5 pick? 6-8 seems to be the range if he's gonna go before us. I think Claiborne drops to us, 90% chance on my bullchittin around o' meter.

thats what i thought also. people like mike lombardi says hes not clearly as good as PP7 , but then why is everyone saying hes the best cb. peterson was horrible last year if not for his ST plays.

but clearly a huge need for us and seems like hes bpa

The only way I see Kalil falling past the Vikes, is if they were confident in Marcus McNeil's health and signed him. Everyone knows how much I wanted Kalil, but he is definitely not falling past Minnesota.

fans get too caught up in expecting rookies to have an amazing impact the 1st year and often forget they are rookies...

I won't be surprised to see Hogan start ahead of Claiborne even if we draft him..

[Actionman0z]

Quite honestly he could go anywhere there. Each team is equally ready to take him. He'll be on everyones radar.

That being said, I do not think Kalil gets past Minn.

There is NO WAY Claiborne falls to us. NO WAY.
