The Tampa Bay Bucs sacked opposing quarterbacks just 26 times in 2010 (for context, the Chargers had 47 sacks last season) and are in the market for a defensive end they can pair with last year's first round draft pick, DT Gerald McCoy.
At nearly 290 lbs., Clayborn may be best suited for a traditional 3-4 defense, but the Bucs could take a flyer on a guy who might've been a top 10 pick after his junior season.
In 2009, the Iowa All-American had 11.5 sacks for the Hawkeyes and was dominant in the team's win over Georgia Tech in the Orange Bowl.
Clayborn's senior season was a relative disappointment, as he notched just 3.5 sacks.
Still, a solid Combine performance (4.83 in the 40) and enough impressive tape from his junior season make Clayborn a solid value pick 20th overall.
He'll need to work on retaining his technique late in games when he's worn down and doing a better job of shedding blocks at the point of attack.
