The pick here should be either Mike Jenkins, Cromartie, or Brandon Flowers.
Mike Jenkins: He’s a hometown kid and he has all of the measureables you want in a corner. He also has a lot of experience and could develop very well.
Cromartie: As a corner in this draft he has all of the best physical atribute. He’s the fastest, he’s 6’1, and oh yeah he’s really fast. I know he went to a small school, but I trust Monte and Raheem Morris(defensive backs coach) to develop him properly. If he is anything like his cousin in San Diego who was also a first round pick, then enough said.
Brandon Flowers: He is not the speedster the other two are, but he is more instinctive and would fit perfectly into a cover two system. I saw him blow up a tight end at the line of scrimage on a run play, then take down the running back, it was very impressive because he’s a corner.
If you look at the Bucs coaching staff as a whole, the coaches who develop players to their greatest potential are on the defensive side of the ball, specifically Raheem Morris who rejoined the team last year. I think drafting a top teer cornerback would be better for next year and for the future.
However, if these guys are not available or for some other reason we don’t take them, they sould look at receiver or offensive line. Desean Jackson might be a “little” overrated, or he could end up being the next Steve Smith, he’s a crap shoot. He has been traing with Jerry Rice though, and that speaks volumes about him.
In the end who knows, maybe we could mortgage our entire draft by trading for Lito Sheppard and trading to get Glenn Dorsey. I then would procede to call the Bucs and thank them for an awesome draft. THE END.
