You stated they wouldn't start. Yes, they would.
Yeah if the Bucs draft a Verse in round 1 they will start. They are not going to keep that player on the bench for Nelson but if Bowles does that well...he isn't the brightest.
@evans-is-my-daddy - thanks for your message. I wasn’t directing my comments to you, just stating the issue with depending on a rookie edge to be much help. There are more busts at the position than most. And maybe one rookie a season makes much of a difference for a team. If we’re picking the 4th or 5th best edge, the likelihood won’t be that he’ll make much of a difference. Verse was my favorite edge two years ago, and he fell in the draft. I just hear every year from the fans that we’ll draft an edge this year and he’ll be our answer. That’s very rare. And I totally agree that sometimes Bowles just blitzes to blitz. At all levels of football I see those coaches that don’t have an answer, and they just jump to blitz, because they can’t figure it out that day.
@alldaway - that’s a big “if.” Who is this draft is Jared Verse? And whoever is closest to a Verse type, will probably be gone by our pick.
