Green Bay Packers End First Round With Selection of Adrian Clayborn

The scary thing about the Packers winning the Super Bowl is that they were so injury-riddled that they will be a much better team in 2011. Any holes in their lineup will be filled by returning players. Nonetheless, the Packers still have to wrap up the first round.

Picking either an offensive or defensive lineman is the smart move, as you cannot really have too many of those. If Adrian Clayborn were to actually fall this far, then they'll jump at the opportunity to acquire him.

Clayborn has a lot of ability that we've seen out of Iowa, but there are some issues. If there's one guy that can straighten any issues Clayborn has out though, it's Dom Capers. Then could end up being a steal, and even if he's a bust, the Packers can work around that.
