You can't base Claiborne's football intelligence on the Wonderlick.. He played at a high level, for multiple years, for a top 3 defense, in the SEC and succeeded.. He'll do just fine at the pro level..

Vito, I thought the same thing but Greeny has changed my mind over the past few days.. His reason is exactly the reason you say not to draft him.. This day in age, RB's get used up in their first few years, so the draft is really the only way to get an "elite" RB, without having to pay them a HUGE contract, with the new rookie salary limit.. Draft a RB high, run him for 4 years and then trade him..
