You never know with late round picks. However with that being said - Claiborne intrigues me very much. The speed is legit. As of now I think he has the upperhand in RB3 and special teams duties. Now can be a KR/PR , he has a chance. Where are areas that need to improve - Vision - at times hit the wrong hole as do all running backs, improve route tree and hands, being able to maintain balance after contact. The size and durability may limit him from being a starting Tailback, however he brings a dimension to this backfield we didn't have.
I get really excited about the possibilities then calm myself down saying we have to wait and see what he can do. For a 6th round pick, he brings legit talent to the team that you generally can't find that late in the draft.
I'm much happier with a pick like this than a Kaytron Allen, who went before Claiborne. At least with Claiborne there's a chance at greatness. Every time he touches the ball every one of us is going to sit up in our chairs.
