Crazy as this sounds I don't think the Arizona Cardinals are going to draft Kyler Murray. We all know how the media likes driving stories for the NFL Draft. Murray wasn't even mentioned in pre-draft circles until he spurned MLB for the NFL. I just don't think the drafts Quarterback class is that strong. If this happens then it's going to cause a ripple effect on everyone's draft board. The Top 4 defensive prospects are gone when the Bucs hit the clock. So here goes. No Trades.
1st Round- Jawaan Taylor-OT-Florida- From the get go (right or wrong) Bruce Arians has declared Jameis Winston his starter. What better way to insure Winston's success than solidifying the OL in front of him!
2nd Round- Deandre Baker- CB- Georgia- The Bucs Secondary could use an effective press man cover guy. Baker is technically sound and excels in man to man coverage which the Bucs DC Bowles is transitioning to.
3rd Round- Jaylon Ferguson- DE/OLB-Louisiana Tech- I'm more of a production over potential fan. This is why I like Ferguson. He has put up solid Stats a at La Tech. 45 sacks in 4 years. In a defensive heavy draft Ferguson is available in the 3rd round.
4th Round- Benny Snell- RB- Kentucky- Production, Production, Production. That's all Benny Snell has done for 3 years at Kentucky. Add in that he's done this against some tough SEC teams and I'm all in on this selection.
5th Round- Beau Benzschawel- OL- Wisconsin- Solidifying the Guard position should be an absolute priority for the Bucs. Benz was part of a OL that had one of college footballs best running attacks.
6th Round- Demarcus Christmas- DL- FSU- The Bucs need added depth across the roster and Christmas brings just that.
7th Round- Jarrett Stidham- QB- Auburn- The Bucs need a developmental QB as a back-up. If Winston gets hurt the Bucs are doomed because Gabbert and Griffin aren't going to win many games as a starters.
