What should the Buccaneers do with #1 pick in the 2015 NFL Draft?
TRADE THE PICK
If someone wants to trade for the first pick in the 2015 NFL Draft the Bucs should oblige them. I've come to the realization that trading down is the right move because the positions of need for Tampa outside of QB are deep in this draft. Maximizing this opportunity to attain assets will be necessary for creating sustainable success for the Buccaneers. It would seem that they
If there's anything to rumors that the Eagles or Browns like Mariota enough to move up all the way to number one, make the trade. Potentially adding three first picks along with other considerations is exactly what Tampa needs to fill many holes on both sides of the ball. Gaining more assets seems like the most appealing option but if they do so then comes the hard part, getting the picks right.
PICK JAMEIS WINSTON
The Buccaneers need to draft Jameis Winston. Yes, we all know about the off-field issues and lack of maturity, but QB prospects like this are too rare to pass up. Winston has spent two seasons running a pro-style offense at FSU with high efficiency. His turnovers did increase in 2014, but his offense lost two wideouts, a starting running back, and center to the NFL. Jameis wins from the pocket, which is a necessity to be successful at the next level. He does have weaknesses, every prospect does, most of them being concerns about the off-field stuff. He showed toughness this season, playing with a bad ankle for most of the season behind a young, inconsistent offensive line. Former Bucs General Manager, Mark Dominik recently stated that he would prefer Mariota if he were making the pick based on what happened with Josh Freeman. Winston has demonstrated great leadership qualities on the field and in the locker room, while leaving a lot to be desired in how he's conducted himself outside of football. Dominik's logic proves as to why he's a former NFL GM, picking a player at number one because they have strong character and work ethic, without the necessary on-field tools is a quick way to get yourself fired. While those are important qualities when evaluating prospects theres more important measurables talent evaluators must take into account. One loss in college, Heisman winner, and BCS National Championship as a red-shirt freshman, these are accolades no other player in history has.
