You should consider quoting the sources that actually know what they’re talking about.

King’s a piece of crap. I don’t read anything he has to say.

That twitter page gives 0 credentials. He is just some random fan with a twitter page posing as someone else.

Best available at 13 which looks like it could be any player at this point with free agency still to come. Milliner would be a sure fire pick but only if he falls. The next available cornerback taken the bucs may be able to find a corner similar early in the second round of the draft. A lot to determine Dominik and staff, can’t wait for free agency honestly Joe.

Macabee,''My guess Rhodes and Amerson end up as NFL safeties.'' Maybe Banks also; but teams that play mainly zone may be able to keep all three at CB.

@Maccabee

It’s also the value of two fourth round picks. If he falls to the Jets I’d be 100% on board with a trade up to grab Milliner. It’s not an exaggeration to say he has the physical talent to be the next Darelle Revis.

Even Jarvis Jones might fall to us.

It looks like one of those top D lineman, like Werner or Star Lotulelei, might fall to us, and if thats the case then we better draft one of them. You just cant pass up talent like that because of need. Then we can address we CB position in the second round. I know one things for sure, the draft cant come soon enough.

FLBoy,

The difference between a 13 and 9 is 200 points. If you look up 200 points that’s a 3rd round pick. I doubt that they would do it, but never say never.

I like Rhodes and I’ve looked at a lot of his tape. To me he looks and plays like a SS. You know he dropped weight to 210lbs to increase his speed at the combine, but his normal playing weight is 217. He’s more of an Eric Reid type. My guess Rhodes and Amerson end up as NFL safeties.

Yes, Rhodes would be an upgrade to everything we currently have, but the problem is he isn’t the 13th ranked player on anyone’s board and I’m willing to bet the Bucs don’t have him ranked that high either. So they either trade down, or, if they can’t find a trade partner, they go with another position. Most likely OT, DT or DE.

Actually I’m starting to come around to the possibility that Dominik may fool us all and trade UP this year. Yes, UP, not down. Target? Dee Milliner. If Milliner makes it past Detroit at #5, and that’s pretty likely since DE is an even bigger need for them, and makes it to the Jets at #9 I think Dominik has to be picking up the phone at that point. He won’t make it past Tennessee at #10 so that’ll be the final opportunity to trade for Milliner. What’s the compensation to go from #13 to #9? Can’t be too much.

Just to reiterate, if we changed back to the cover 2, or any other zone defense, we should draft a pass rusher with our first pick.
