Bucs are “moving toward a consensus” at No. 1 March 23, 2015 by Gil Arcia There will always be news that comes out of the NFL owners meeting, which is currently going on out in Arizona. Last year, Mike Williams was the topic. This year? Several roster topics. On Monday Jason Licht, via Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times, talked about the No. 1 draft pick, the offensive line, and safety Dashon Goldson. And as for that first overall selection, Licht said that team is moving towards a consensus with the selection.
Rick Stroud @NFLSTROUD · 9h 9 hours ago Licht says the Bucs haven't gotten any hard offers for the No. 1 pick. "Just small talk right now.' Anything like that would come later.Rick Stroud @NFLSTROUD · 9h 9 hours ago The Bucs have private workouts scheduled at Florida State for Jameis Winston and Oregon for Marcus Mariota in next 2 1/2 weeks.Rick Stroud @NFLSTROUD · 9h 9 hours ago Licht said the Bucs free agents have a familiarity with the Bucs' system. "You limit the risk when you know what you're getting.''Rick Stroud @NFLSTROUD · 9h 9 hours ago Licht: "It's fit and familiarity with scheme. If you have a chance to take a player that has familiarity with your scheme that's also...Rick Stroud @NFLSTROUD · 9h 9 hours ago Licht: '...a great player, it's a good situation to be in. That's a player you want to target.''Rick Stroud @NFLSTROUD · 9h 9 hours ago Licht: "On the surface it might not look like we're trying to hit a grand slam, but there's nothing wrong with hitting a few doubles, eitherRick Stroud @NFLSTROUD · 9h 9 hours ago Licht says the Bucs plan is to put Cowboys FA Bruce Carter at MLB.Rick Stroud @NFLSTROUD · 9h 9 hours ago Licht on addressing the OL: "We know where are holes are and we know we still have the draft and there still are some free agents out there.Rick Stroud @NFLSTROUD · 9h 9 hours ago Licht: "We know we'll have No. 1 in priority in (waiver) claiming.

I feel privileged, and so does Lovie, that we are able to make...Rick Stroud @NFLSTROUD · 9h 9 hours ago Licht: "...this decision and to set the tone of this franchise hopefully for years to come.''The offensive line is a hot topic. As well as what the team will do with Goldson. But perhaps the most important issue at hand is finding a quarterback for the future.TheBayCave.com once supported Mike Glennon. In fact, he may very well still have a future. But that future is not in pewter. The future is in Jameis Winston (or maybe even Marcus Mariota for the sake of not continuously beating the same drum). The Bucs just hosted Winston and Mariota at their team headquarters and it is obvious what there intentions are — and that is drafting a quarterback.TBC has gathered information since November on how they may approach the draft. Not only have sources close to the team penned Winston as the top choice, but several media sources and others from around the league are telling TBC all signs point to the Bucs drafting the quarterback out of Florida State.So what is the consensus Licht is referring to? Could it be the national consensus on several mock drafts? We don’t know. Perhaps the consensus Licht means is they will decide on a quarterback.We’ll know more in the next five weeks.link
