It's about that year where I release some hidden gems, and this one isn't so hidden and yet I don't see any posts on him.
Chris Long as we all know has a natural position of Left End, which he'll probably be moved back to next year to better utilize his technique and skills.
But a player the Rams absolutely should draft in Round 2, is Adrian Clayborn. The St. Louis native is the starting Right End for the Hawkeyes, who happen to have a very good defense. He's right around 6'3", 280 pounds and has very good speed, he plays with a non stop motor and has the toughness you love in a Defensive End. He's got a motor that matches Chris Longs. I've watched every game this season, and the guy is constantly in the backfield. He has the skill too to be able to do all the stunts and the drops back in coverage which Spagnuolo likes to do with his players.
His stats are amazing so far this season:
56 tackles
16.5 TFL
8.5 Sacks
1 Pass break up
7 QB Hurries
3 Forced Fumbles
1 blocked punt ( Which he recovered for a TD
1 blocked FG


The dudes a beast, and only 21.
