Bucs Want to Trade Down




Finally the NFL draft is here as Bucs Gm Jason Licht and his staff are ready to get another impact player tonight for his up and coming team. The Bucs have the 9th pick and even though there is a possibility that Ramsey or Bosa could be available, the team is very open to trading down.
This makes sense as the Bucs would like to add more picks to their arsenal to take advantage of the day 2 value in this draft. Potential trade down partners could be the Dolphins or the Titans if Elliot, Floyd, Conklin, or Rankins are on the board when the Bucs are up. According to Gil Arcia of The Baycave.com, the Bucs have interest in these players with either the 9th pick or in a trade down scenario.
TBC has some names for you to tie in with the Bucs as their pick approaches and trade-up opportunities fade away from what we have gathered: Noah Spence, Joey Bosa, Vernon Butler, Vernon Hargreaves III, DeForest Buckner, Jack Conklin and Robert Nkemdiche. All these are “realistic” options for the team. Notice how there is no Leonard Floyd or Shaq Lawson on this list.
I completely agree with this and it shows that the Bucs are trying hard to move down because outside of Bosa and Buckner, none of the other names are really deserved to be taken in the top ten. Now if the Bucs can't trade down and Bosa is not there, then I wouldn't hesitate to take Robert Nkemdiche. Nkemdiche has top 5 talent and would be a wrecking ball next to Gerald McCoy.
