My Mock Draft - 7 rounds with options if the player isn't there.

[original_bucfan]

1st round:  The pick has to be Trent in my mind, if he is gone, I move down my list.
1      Trent Richardson RB Ala –
2      Matt Kalil OT USC
3      Kuechly ILB BC
4.     No Mo Claiborne – It is too big of a risk to take at 5.  I see the talent, but a learning disability scares me away for pick 5.

2nd Round:  With RB in the 1st, TB goes best value
1.   Courtney Upshaw DE / LB Ala – 2 articles today say he will slide to the second, if there take him.
2.   Josh Robinson  CB  UCF
3.   Lavonte David OLB N
4.   Doug Martin RB Boise
5.   Mike Adams OT OSU

3rd Round: CB gets addressed here.
1.   Trumaine Johnson CB Mon
2.   Sean Spence OLB UM
3.   Issiah Pead RB Cincy
4.   LeMicheal James Oregon
5.   Brandon Taylor SS – LSU

5TH Round:  Massoquoi becomes the Bucs newest LB.
1.    Jonathan Massoquoi OLB Troy
2.   Tank Carder  ILB TCU
3.   TY Hilton WR FIU
4.   Terrance Ganaway RB Baylor
5.   Phillipe Blake C Baylor

6th Round:  A young OT to push Trueblood hopefully out the door.
1.    Nate Potter  OT  Boise
2.   Audie Cole  ILB NCST
3.    Loryell Judie CB Tx AM

7th Round:  Burfict will drop like a ton of bricks, if not here, we get our new Backup QB to replace JJ.
1.   Vontaze Burfict – ILB ASU – I
2.   Kellen Moore – QB Boise St.
3.   Case Keenum QB UH

Lol @ No Mo Claiborne. Get real kid.

Does Lavonte go by Larry? Just curious. (Serious question, I don't follow him)

I thought the same thing when I got to round 2. 

[XFactor]

I'd go Mo, Martin, Spence, Hilton, Potter, Burfict with your choices.

upshaw is slow, has tight hips and looked awful dropping back into coverage.  He would be depth in bucs's organization behind bowers, clayborne and bennett, i cannot see us taking a DE in the top 4 rounds.

I corrected it.  Hard to write Lavonte and talk to a person named Larry at the same time.

7th Round:  Burfict will drop like a ton of bricks, if not here, we get our new Backup QB to replace JJ.
1.   Vontaze Burfict – ILB ASU – I
2.   Kellen Moore – QB Boise St.
3.   Case Keenum QB UH

I believe that ALL 3 of these guys are gone by the end of the 5th round.

Damn... I was going around calling him Larry like I knew him too.

Claiborne will be a very good corner but not a shut down one, in my view. He has never faced a top receiver in college (neither had guys like Revis though) and he wasn't incredibly dominating. Jenkins probably has more talent but is a nutjob. Claiborne is probably the best CB in the draft but not a slam dunk success. Here would be an option I would like to see the Bucs take.

If you think our linebackers and corners are bad, give this a go.


1, Luke Kuechly (trade back get a 2nd and 4th and maybe something next year)
2a. Doug Martin/David Wilson - Both a type of running back we could use
2b. Lavonte David - Derrick Brooks type of player, great tackler bit undersized
3. Brandon Boykin- Talented Cornerback from a Georgia could be useful.
4. DeMario Davis- Another talented linebacker, very solid, between him and David we could probably get rid of Quincy.
5.DeQuan Menzie Cornerback Miami I think
6. Bobby Rainey
7. Joe Martinek- A full back who runs a 4.43! Ex-Rutgers too so possible.
