OK --- that makes much more sense.  I should have figured since we would not likely bring in a 5'9" DB weighing 179 specifically for his high upside with regard to defending receivers.

I agree for the most part. Also keep in mind Claybrooks only played Defensive Back for a year (maybe two?) at Memphis so he's very raw as a corner, but has been a homerun return threat everytime he touched the ball in college him winning the return job is how he'll stick on this roster.

Like it's worth pointing out that Josiah Scott our 5th round CB is 5'9" 185 lbs. and has really shined this training camp (granted he's being groomed to take over at Nickelback where you can get away with being on the small side) so we did bring in a DB of that size specifically for his high upside with regard to defending receivers lol. but Scott has been playing CB dating back to HS so it's a bit unfair to compare the two.
