The Bucs will need corner, yes, and as always, in the first round they better simply go BPA, but in the overall, the bigger defensive concern right now is at LB. Tampa needs a linebacker that will remember his gap, close his gap, and tackle. Every team the Bucs have played in this losing streak since Chicago has run for a mile on them. Part of the is McCoy getting hurt, but more of that has to do with horrible linebacker play.


In Detroit, the problem is the opposite. Sure, adding a stud LB will help, but Tulloch, Levy and Durant have done their jobs. Unlike the Tampa guys, the Lions LB's have tackled and wrapped up quite well. The problem their is with the edge. Avril, and to a less extent Vanden Bosch, have been to focused on getting upfield to get pressure, that they've left gaping holes behind them to run in. The Lions could use more disciplined DE's.

I was toying with a second round and I had the Bucs getting Keenan Robinson.

I think Zach Brown helps with the run but gives them a 3 down guy who can cover as well and that ability to cover would really benefit the Lions defense

For the record, I liked both picks. Just figured where else I might go. Especially for Detroit, because the starting crew at LB is quite good.

The Rams wouldn't reach on a guy like Jonathan Martin, he's not even the best tackle in the class. I am praying that we (I'm a Rams fan) either just take Blackmon, or trade back and try to accumulate draft picks.
