The Bucs are in dire need of a lot of positions, as they are a mess all over. However, what better way to start the re-haul then with a possible franchise QB? Mariota has the ability and NFL intelligence to turn this franchise around real, real fast. With receivers such as Mike Evans & Vincent Jackson, Mariota will have some weapons to throw to.
2. Tennessee Titans
Randy Gregory, DE/OLB, Nebraska
A lot of people would go QB here, but I think the Titans got enough promise with Zach Mettenberger to wait at least another year. They also have showed interest in Jay Cutler, so I’m going to hold off on them drafting a QB. With Jameis Winston’s troubles and Mettenberger’s promise, it would be good for Tennessee to resist the temptation of drafting Winston and get a stud pass rusher in Randy Gregory. The titans pass rush is a bit of a mess, and Gregory would compliment Jurell Casey quite well.
3. Jacksonville Jaguars
Leonard Williams, DT, USC
The stud Defensive Tackle is perhaps the most talented player in the draft, and would help a stagnant Jacksonville defense. The Jaguars got their QB in last year’s draft, now it’s time to improve the defense with a force up the middle for many years to come.
