The Bucs find themselves in an interesting position at 19. A lot of the guys we are mocking to them could just be gone, and if they are, is someone really going to trade for a guy? If I'm the Bucs, there is a handful of guys that I'd trade up for at reasonable price. I'd pull the trigger on Hooker, Adams, or Barnett, if I can keep my 2nd. But say we can't, and Howard, Davis and none of the guys we are mocking make it to 19...
1. Antonio Garcia - OT - Troy - Maybe I'm mistaken, but this guy just reminds me a bit of Duane Brown. Everyone bashed the Brown pick in the 1st round, but nobody complains about taking a guy who is quietly one of the best LT's in the league there any more.
2. Bucky Hodges - TE - VA Tech - OJ Howard is a great all around TE, but if we're looking for weapons for Jameis and his style of play, there may be no better fit than Bucky. He's a young, not yet beat up, Jimmy Graham. imo we should grab a WR in free agency, maybe even 2.
3. Buddah Baker - S - WA - First 2 picks went to offense, but how we upgrade our D in the offseason is the key to what level we contend next year. I'm hoping we get some more D-Line and CB in FA. Baker is probably a 2nd rounder, but maybe there is a play late 2nd early 3rd.
4. Daniel Carlson - K - Auburn - Oh no he didn't! This offseason and draft's success depends a lot on Licht and crew's ability to admit past mistakes. Donovan Smith is a good player, but he's not a top notch LT you want Winston trusting when he waits in the pocket. Aguyo was a bad pick. He's never going to be dependable from 50+, if from anywhere. The position still has value though (although I never thought 2nd round!, and on Aguyo...). Carlson is a great kicker.
5. James Conner - RB - Pitt - He may not test out well, but I think in a one cut scheme he could be a special player. I'd like to see us shuffle our O-Line to accommodate that scheme like the Falcons have. (I'd also like Adrian Peterson : )

PR's picks in their 2.0 mock sound great. Jackson State DE Javancy Jones and Florida State FB Freddie Stevenson (I'd include links, but image embed ruins my post : )
