Besides Miami's D-Line trio of Bain, Moten, and Mesidor, did anyone else pique your interest? I liked the way Kaelon Black ran the ball for Indy, but I don't know about his size. Mendoza didn't play all that well this game, but his season was very good. However, watching him just doesn't do it for me for some reason. I'd like to see the Bucs get Bain or Mesidor, but I don't think those two will last until the 15th pick...maybe one of them.

From last night's game it Bain, Pond, Mesidor.

 

I personally want Styles.  Would be happy with Mesidor, McDonald, or Faulk. 

For what Tampa needs to succeed, it's a very deep draft.

I think Indiana will have 6-8 great late picks..players that are disciplined, can play special teams, are mature and coachable. Might not be world beater athletes.

Bain is an obvious choice if he's there but he won't be...

Mendoza will be an average NFL QB. He's sneaky athletic and tall but he's just such a cheese ball... And let's get real... Indy was a team of men playing young men. I'd rather (for college) have a 3* 23-25 year old than a 5* 19 year old.

Lol Carson Beck is 24. He has no upside. He's a 6th rounder type talent.

We don't need another Kyle Trask (to your point)

You don't think Pond is too short for NFL CB?

Likewise. 

5'9" is scary at that position.
