Myles Jack Would Make the Bucs D Versatile




With the draft getting closer, rumors are beginning to ramp up causing fans to wonder what is really true. The latest rumor is about UCLA LB Myles Jack potentially falling out of the top ten due to fears of his knee declining over time.
The good news for Myles Jack is his agent responded back with video of him working out with the Jaguars and showing no signs of weakness in his repaired knee. Looks really strong and fast in this video below.
Due to this I don't see Jack falling past the Jaguars at five, the guy is a perfect fit in their defense and he could go as high as third overall to the Chargers. Now if for some strange reason Jack fell to the Bucs at 9th overall, I'm pretty sure Mike Smith will be banging the drum for him to be the Bucs selection. Jack could instantly help this defense make the transition to a multiple scheme allowing the Bucs to get real creative with their fronts and pressures. Not only would the Bucs have the best trio of linebackers in the NFL, but they could be very versatile in their looks and really be a issue for offenses to match up with.

The Bucs wouldn't have to Jack off the field as they could play 3-3-5 (only 3 down lineman) look on third down and blitz Jack or Alexander on certain situations. Bucs could also have Jack play nickel corner at times similar to how the Panthers use Shaq Thompson, using Jack to cover slot tight ends or bigger receivers. Lastly, the Bucs could just go straight 3-4 look using Jack as rush linebacker or vice versa with Daryl Smith. Most likely Jack will be long gone by the time the Bucs are on the clock but if he is, don't just think the Bucs will pass because he is a linebacker.
