Have the Bucs tipped their Draft hand in Free Agency by not addressing the LB position. So far the Bucs have added starters or depth at OLB, OT, G, C, TE, QB, CBx2, DT and DE. What about MLB? In Chicago Lovie thrived for years with Brian Urlacher and Lance Briggs. Is Mason Foster really the dominate MLB for Lovie Smith? I don't think so. Casillas and Dane Fletcher are clearly special teams/depth guys and not full time starters. That brings me to CJ Mosley, MLB out of Alabama. If there is one weak position in this draft class it's at MLB. After CJ Mosley the pickings are really slim. Borland, Skov and Smallwood are 2nd or 3rd day depth guys at best and not the dominate smash mouth MLB that Lovie covets in his defense. So if Clowney and Mack are off the board by the 7th pick then CJ Mosley is a viable option IMO. Mosley isn't going to get past Dallas at 16. He could go as high as #8 to Minnesota. Trading back is a gamble if the Bucs truly want Mosley. If the Bucs do select CJ Mosley then Mason Foster moves to the Strongside LB slot. What do you think?
