Walter football mock has claiborne falling to us

With as many cheap RB's on the FA market, he thinks TB will invest pick number 5 on a RB?

Do not understand that thinking. What makes this Richardson the greatest back in our lifetime to merit the #5 pick in a pass happy league? First back to go off the board last year was in the twenties.

Don't see it.

I agree, I highly doubt it happens but it's not entirely impossible. TB has NOTHING at RB, and T-Rich is way better than any RB in the 2011 draft. Also, there are a ton of other good cb options Tampa can look to in round 2. Alfonzo Denard, Stephon Gilmore, etc

I've thought this for some time. Fwiw, this poll from the Bucs board has them taking(most fans wanting) Richardson. http://www.bbs.tbaybucs.com/index.php?/topic/13555-with-the-5th-overall-pick-in-the-2012-nfl-draft/ Clearly the Bucs will not-not take Richardson just so that we don't get Claiborne, but if they even have half a brain they should see that we'd be standing from the dugout, ready to step into the on deck circle, and ready to knock this completely out of this world and send all of us into a state of absolute euphoria. I hope Walterfootball and this meaningless poll are right!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!

It's kind of bittersweet this draft. If the Bucs take Claiborne, then we'll get some other stud but have to deal with a true shutdown corner for the next half-decade at least. If the Bucs take Richardson, then we have to deal with a duel-threat badass RB against our poo defense for the next half-decade at least. Win-win and lose-lose.

The Bucs literally hired LSU's Defensive Backs coach this evening..Ron Cooper..known as one of the better recruiters in the SEC and one of the best, if not the best, DB coach in America.

I guess churning out Peterson and now Claiborne back to back opens opportunities.

What sucks though is that it increases the Bucs chances of taking Claiborne..unfortunately.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
