I'd take claiborne. minn. plays green bay, detroit, chicago all twice. they need corners and no left tackle is gonna help ponder. ponder ain't that good.

other words, should you try and slow down the other teams in division or try and out score them. can't out score them with ponder. take claiborne.

Minnesota is a running team. They have the best RB in football. Kalil would be a huge upgrade in their run blocking.

Playing GB and Detroit and Chicago twice each also means having to block Matthews, Avril and Peppers six times a year. Ponder's job right now is not to screw things up too terribly, but either way having a stud LT to keep the league's best pass rushers away sure won't hurt him.

I love Claiborne because he's a Tiger, but I'm also not 100% sold that he is a lockdown #1 corner. Kalil is even more "can't-miss" than Luck IMO.
