Will he get drafted? Yes or no.

I say yes but I think it would almost be better for him if he did not get drafted and can sign with any team(Colts would be a good fit)

Re: Oordt

I think he will, it won't be til the later rounds. The highest I see him going is in the fifth round. He has worked hard and I wish him the best of luck at the next level! Go Panthers!

Re: Oordt

Based on UNI's history of having great players and them not getting drafted I'm going to say no, but want to believe yes.

This, UNI has been having difficulty in getting good players drafted, what I have been seeing is that he is the 11th rated TE, which might get him drafted, hopefully NFL team don't put too much stock in his stats which lets be honest aren't all that impressive.

Well, the Panthers and Broncos skipped over him...

If he's undrafted, then he will eventually sign with someone. That said, no undrafted player can sign until the NFL and players agree to a new contract. That could be awhile, despite the judges' recent rulings.

Re: Oordt

I know this is somewhat off-topic but I think Clayborn was a great pick for Tampa at #20. He'll fit in well there and will probably start right away on the left side. He could've done much worse but I don't think there was a better place for him to go...it's Florida for goodness sakes too!! Sorry, just wanted to say that

Re: Oordt

Cap'n Cat still gets 10-12 calls a year from NFL teams asking if he wants to un-retire and give it another shot.

You're right. The Cap'n's being modest. Put a zero after each of those numbers and that will be more accurate.

I think it is a bad pick. It pretty much depends on which Clayborn shows up. Junior year (Great) or Senor year (bad). But who really knows.

I think he'll be fine. All of the double teams this year limited his effectiveness in terms of stats but it opened things up for teammates. He does a lot and I doubt he gets doubled teammed much in the NFL, granted that he will be going against much better linemen too. The Big 10 is actually a very good conference in terms of producing linemen so he should be somewhat prepared

Not sure about Claybourn, but if someone gave me semi-decent odds, I'd bet he's a bust. He took too many plays, and games, off last year. Ballard has a rep amongst NFL scouts as not having enough motor, but Claybourn could arguably fall there too.

He's also soft, as in too pudgy. You don't see NFL D-Ends built like that.

He was a consensus All-American but was "bad"? LOL.

His statistics from '09 to '10 are different because he was askes to do different things. In his junior season he had a great linebacking who allowed him to pin his ears back and take shots at the quarterback or ball carrier. In '10 he had two gap responsibilities and an average-to-below-average linebacking corp who needed him to do different things.
