Official Mock Draft Thread (2013 Draft)

[TomRiddle]

It's early, and that's my first mock, just based on were I think players will land. I fully get that some may raise and some will fall it happens every year, but for now that's my mock, rather realistic or not

round 2: CB - jordan poyer (oregon state)   


round 3: TE - travis kelce (cincinnati)


round 4: FS - dj swearinger (south carolina)     


round 4: WR - ryan swo.pe (texas A&M)   


round 5: DE - david bass (missouri western)


round 6: CB - nigel malone (kansas state)


round 7: RB zac stacy (vanderbilt)

alternate:
round 1: DT - sheldon richardson (missouri) / DE - ezekiel ansah (BYU)

round 7: QB - seth doege (texas tech)

good conversation in this thread (for the most part)...

I think the only LOCK in this draft for our Bucs is Ricky Wagner.   He'll be very high on the draftboard due to his background with Bostad.

Dennis Johnson is a favorite of mine this year - but only because he is built like Martin, Rice and MJD (and he's a quality returner.)

[JDouble]

1st - Bjoern Werner, DeMarcus Milliner, Xavier Rhodes, Sheldon Richardson, Eric Fisher.

2nd - Dion Jordan, Jordan Poyer, DeAndre Hopkins, Tyler Eifert, Tyler Wilson, Monte Ball, Lane Johnson, Barrett Jones,

3rd - EJ Manuel, Gavin Escobar, Stedman Bailey, David Amerson (as a FS), Cornellius Carradine, Eddy Lacy, Brandon Williams, Kaseem Greens,

4th - Robert Alford, Menelik Watson, Chase Thomas, Leon McFadden,

5th - Dennis Johnson, Nico Johnson, Bacarri Rambo

6th, 7th, Undrafted - Michael Clay, A.J. Bouye, Jon Major, Armonty Bryant, Uzoma Nwachukwu, Mike Catapano,

Big Jib, that first option Mock is good and very realstic, if Jones would fall to us I would love for us to pick him, he is a beast and I'm sure our doctors would make sure he is ok for the future, Poyer/Logran Ryan in round 2 are perfect if we cant get Trufant. Travis Kelce is my favorite Tight End in this class, watch out for him at the Combine the kid can run for how big he is and has great hands.

[jerseybucsfan]

Agreed on jib's mock. I would love it to play out that way.

[spurzo]

1)DT - Sheldon Richardson - His motor will be infectious...80 tackles as a DT in the SEC last year
2a) WR - Tavon Austin - Gives our offence an element it's never had... Since Freeman's accuracy is inconsistent give him Austin and he can make some easy bubble screen throws
2b) CB - Xavier Rhodes or  Logan Ryan - one of them will be there, both fit the system.  Would cost our 3 and 4th
4) OT - Chris Faulk - Big right tackle, practiced everyday against Mingo and Montgomery, that's gotta help.
5) RB - Rex Burkhead - Buccaneer Man, compact, powerful pack   
6) OL - Terron Armstead - Developmental swing player
7) S - Shamarko Thomas - purely for his name...kidding guy can run...bit too aggressive, can we coach him up?

Free Agency -

1)Resign DE Mike Bennett 3 years 24 mil and as much as I'd like to get his brother I figure he's the highest paid tight end this offseason so instead...
2) TE - Jared Cook - probably have to overpay abit 2 years 10mil
3) S - Glover Quinn - Talented cover safety (converted CB) - 3 years 12 mil
4) CB - Keenan Lewis -  Destroy Eric Wright's 7.75 mil per year contract and hand it to Lewis... making him the 8th highest paid CB this year should be enough to entice him.
5) Resign Big Roy Miller - 2 years 5 mil... instrumental to our run D

[jerseybucsfan]

I like where you are going with those changes spurzo. Probably not a realistic top 3, but if it happened I'd be delighted.

I like the name, "Justice Cunningham".

I would have never thought that we would have had Martin AND David in our top 3 last year....Rhodes probably wont be there if we trade back up into the 2nd, but Ryan may.
