Are you talking about Chris Claibore, the starting LB for the Lions? He's a good player. If Takeo Spikes hadn't been on the market, Claiborne would have been the premier all-purpose LB in free agency this season. He's not Ray Lewis, but he'd start on at least 75% of the teams in this league, and can play all positions. He's a Top 10 LB in this league, but doesn't get a lot of Pub because he's in Detroit.

I will say that Leftwich will be the bust of the draft if he's selected in the Top 15. Then... Andre Johnson if he's taken in the top 25. There's no way that you waste a top "lottery" pick on a project that can't catch.

The problem with Chris has been going from very good player to star, it just hasn't happened. He's apparently had a weight problem in recent years too. He's very versatile he can play inside or outside, but he's never quite been as good as projected coming out of USC.

Terrell has largely been a bust due to injury, when he played he found the endzone although he did drop too many balls as a rookie. His problem has been staying healthy, I've mentioned before he's a guy I'd like to see us pursue I think he's much more likely to overcome his injury problem at his age than Robinson is at his age.

I tend agree with Skkorp. Andre scares me, especially with the #6 pick of the draft! I remember his doing well in the Rose Bowl the year before last against Nebraska (I think he was the one). He's kind of like Sanders was for the two years before last year, when he was dropping catchables. Andre make some great catches, then has had a reputation for dropping seemingly catchable ones. He's moved up big, probably due to the purported 4.37 forty speed. I just hope the Cards don't take him - we've got other holes to fill on defense first! We should take the best available WR in either of the 2nd through 4th rounds, depending on what's available at other positions!
