In Hindsight....Should the Bucs have stayed at #5 and drafted Morris Claiborne ?

[tbc_bucs]

We also have to look at what the scheme is asking Barron to do. Ronde plays in the box. I would imagine that as soon as Ronde retires, it will be Barron in the box, that is his game and I believe he will be an elite SS in the box,

Barron got worked by a TE nobody's ever heard of.

Barron is not impressing me at all.

Grimm was way better as a rookie. Ahmad Black is better too. Kid has some serious work to do if he's gonna live up to his draft status.

Does the team get Doug Martin or Lavonte David without making this trade?  It's possible, but not definite.

I can't even remember the last time the guy has made a play

[BucsGuru]

Yep...and we should have NEVER traded Steve Young too....thanks hindsight.

No, it's not definite.  But the Bucs obviously liked those players enough to trade up for them, so I don't know why that would have changed if Morris was the pick.  They just would have needed to use other draft resources, i.e. future draft picks or multiple late-rounders.  God knows the late-rounders were wasted anyway.

Not giving up on Barron this early, but have to say Claiborne might have been the wiser choice looking back.

This should be no question at this point...Barron is playing God-awful. If Grimm weren't on the IR, I would now be hoping that they would bench Barron for Grimm. Opposing OCs should just run plays that target #24. Would be an automatic first down/TD.

Good thing you are looking back and not looking at Dallas Cowboy games...Claiborne is struggling as much as Barron.

[NotDeadYet]

     By now, I think most posters realize by staying at #5, we would NOT have gotten both David and Martin. Definitely way too early to give up on Barron. Without knowing actual player responsibilities, can't really judge his play. Other than failing to get his head around on a few coverage plays I recall, only his coaches know...

I have seen a few of the Cowgirls games, MoMo is doing much better than Barron IMO.

Sure but there's better rookies than Claiborne. Just at CB I'd rather have Jenkins or Heyward.

And I was a fan of Claiborne but this hindsight stuff gets annoying, especially just through the rookie years.
