Defensive End out of the University of Iowa, Adrian Clayborn, became the Buccaneers first round pick in the 2011 draft..
A big defensive end, Clayborn brings a lot of size, smarts, and physicality to the Bucs and will hold down the left end spot for years to come. He also was a big time producer at Iowa and was a big part of Iowas power house defense.
I wanted Purdue DE, Ryan Kerrigan, but with him going at 11th to the Redskins, I am not unhappy by this pick by any means. I am a big Iowa fan and got to watch a lot of Hawakeye games, and Clayborn was constantly double teamed and made several big time plays for the Hawkeyes.
I love how physical AND smart he plays. Many Buc fans will not be inlove with this pick at first, but Clayborn will be a great fit for this Bucs defense.
I will have more in depth analysis on this pick and the other Bucs picks as they come in.
