Tampa Bay Draft Recap, Day 1 and 2

QB Moses Nelson University of Wisconsin (R1-9)
After an illustrious career for the Badgers, Nelson joins the Buccaneers and instantly takes a seat at the front of the room. While he needs some developing physically, the young gunslinger has an uncanny understanding of the game and his field vision is unmatched.

DT George Cole, Ohio State (R2-9)
The defensive tackle position is a crowded one with four solid players ahead of Cole which gives him time to develop and learn before being thrown into the fire. He'll likely see little more than spot duty this year barring injury ahead of him.

CB Alvaro Cooley, Wake Forest (R3-9)
CB Lamont Keefer, Penn State (R3-18)
Tampa Bay is thin in the defensive backfield, that's not a secret around the league and an injection of youth was definitely needed...enter Cooley and Keefer. While not obvious immediate stars, both have some intriguing intagibles that already has defensive coordinator Bruce Delong planning on using both of them in various packages.

RB Brian Bostic, University of Wisconsin (R5 **TRADE**)
With starter Federico Webb getting long in the tooth entering his 12th season in the WWPF Tampa Bay made a draft day trade with Kansas City for Bostic, who was a drafted in the 4th round last year. He only had 3 carries for 26 yards, but has all the intagibles to contribute immediately and is reunited with his college quarterback, Moses Nelson.

Nelson Named Buccaneers Starter

New Tampa Bay head coach Mack Conrad has already named first round pick Moses Nelson the starter. "Our current roster of quarterbacks has historically done well, but we didn't draft Moses to sit him on the bench. The best way for him to learn is under pressure and in a game, barring anything strange happening you'll see him under center in week one."

Nelson was taken with the 9th overall pick by the new Buccanners regime after a throwing for 17,196 yards and 162 touchdowns while at Wisconsin.

DT Logan Brownlee (NE) goes #1 overall!

NEW YORK -- The New England Patriots drafted Logan Brownlee #1 overall in the 2033 draft. The 6' 6" DT fits the team's needs perfectly. Said Patriots general manager: "It's up to us to develop him and get good players around him."

"The great thing about the game of football is, it's a team game," Brownlee said on a conference call. "I'm just going to be one piece of the puzzle."

Moore and Nox Mock Draft

Pick 1: New England Patriots
Larry Moore: Moses Nelson - QB
Here is a kid who no one doubts will put in the work. He is driven by the love of the sport. This guy sticks with his teammates, through thick and thin. Rarely do you see college quarterbacks come out with this level of understanding. This guy is available. This guy fills a need. They have to take him. It makes so much sense.

Jim Nox: Jess McConnell - DE
His college coaches talk highly of his work ethic. Powerful first jump. Can bull rush smaller offensive linemen consistenly. Coaches love this kind of strength coming of the edge. More than enough speed for the position. This will become evident as he develops. Works well in the classroom. It is not often that the talent available fits perfectly with what you need. When it does, it makes for a win-win situation. This young man is going to be put in a position to succeed.

Pick 2: Los Angeles Rams
Larry Moore: Logan Brownlee - DT
Liked by coaches and teammates. Imagine having that kind of strength consistently blowing through the middle. I can, scouts can, and coaches can. With this kind of physique, many teams would love to have him. Good jump off the line. Enough speed to be unpredictable in his passrushing moves. No nonsense tackler. It is not often that the talent available fits perfectly with what you need. When it does, it makes for a win-win situation. This young man is going to be put in a position to succeed.

Jim Nox: Logan Brownlee - DT
Known for helping out teammates, if they hit a rough patch, whether it is on the field or in their personal lives. It is no coincidence he has attracted a lot of attention. This kid can bench press offensive linemen on his way to the Quarterback. Is sufficiently fast to stay on the field against the pass. That is important if you are going to draft a guy this early. Tackles low and with good technique. They need players at the position, and good ones at that. He fits the bill, he is worth the pick. End of story.

Pick 3: Indianapolis Colts
Larry Moore: Gustavo Morin - DT
Knows what it takes to achieve success at any level. The ultimate team player. This is the kind of kid you want to promote the game. Well behaved, loves the game, and respectful. This guy is hard to move. In college, he would routinely just throw blockers on the ground on his way to the Quarterback. Good speed for a Defensive Tackle. He should get sacks. And you know who likes sacks? Everyone! Well, except offenses. Wraps up well when tackling. Fans might not be on board with what can be framed as a need pick. But trust me once they see this kid play, they will be more than happy.

Jim Nox: Gustavo Morin - DT
Here you have a kid who puts in the work to succeed. He helps everyone get in the right position, making the team run as a well oiled machine. His good natured behavior, even toward opponents have earned him some criticism, but also an awful lot of respect. Powerful! He can succesfully bull rush fully grown offensive linemen. This is the kind of kid you can use to anchor the center of your line.Is sufficiently fast to stay on the field against the pass. That is important if you are going to draft a guy this early. Coaches like how well he tackles. When the available talent fits what you need, there is reason to celebrate. They are getting a great talent who will serve them for many years.

Pick 4: Cleveland Browns
Larry Moore: Thomas Wright - QB
His college coaches talk highly of his work ethic. Respected for his good behavior on the field. Well liked in the locker room. Delivers the ball accurately. Will not leave the ball floating in the air, can deliver it low and hard. They need players at the position, and good ones at that. He fits the bill, he is worth the pick. End of story.

Jim Nox: Sam Hawk - CB
Need a leader? He is your guy. Known among his teammates as a hard worker. The guy has gets along with everyone. Has the speed to stay close to his man. While not elite, he has enough speed that you can do a lot of different things with him. Fill the need with a quality player. Best case scenario here.

Pick 5: Seattle Seahawks
Larry Moore: Sam Hawk - CB
Every team would benefit from his leadership. This guy understands what it means to be a pro. Known for being a bit of a joker in the locker room. but in the good way, everyone smiles when asked about him. Not a speedster per se, but enough to play man. He is faster than he is given credit for. Take the blue-chip player. Do not worry about sexier picks. He fits what you need and the quality is there.

Jim Nox: John Will - WR
His leadership is through the roof. He is on the frontline, always. 'Team player', this is the correct term for him. He makes everyone around him better. He is fundamentally a good kid. You rarely see him commit stupid penalties. Has pro ready catching ability, and that is what you are lookng for if you are going to take a receiver this high. His speed compliments his game, and will be a nice asset to the offense. Can change direction fluidly. They gotta be happy to get this guy. Such a talent and he fits their needs. I would imagine the war room is celebrating when they make this pick.

Pick 6: Detroit Lions
Larry Moore: Mark Montez - G
Known among his teammates as a hard worker. Sportsmanship, love of the sport and respect, is what you get with him. He takes care of his teammates. Most everyone who ever played with him, counts him as their friend. Even though this is a youngster right out of college, he is strong like a grown man. This is a guy who is already a pretty good blocker in the run game. Some might say this is a 'need' pick, but we must remember, this is a really good player as well. He will contribute early and often. No losers here.

Jim Nox: Mark Montez - G
Due to his work ethic, this kid is very coachable. This is the kind of kid you want to promote the game. Well behaved, loves the game, and respectful. Known for helping out teammates, if they hit a rough patch, whether it is on the field or in their personal lives. Rarely do a player this young bench pres this much. This kind of physical foundation given him an incredible ceiling. This is a guy who is already a pretty good blocker in the run game. They gotta be happy to get this guy. Such a talent and he fits their needs. I would imagine the war room is celebrating when they make this pick.

Nice speed for a Defensive End. Enough to keep contain and get sacks. Quickly discerns the field, and where to go to to make a play. Are there other guys worth picking here? Sure, but none of them fit this well with what they need, and he is a solid talent.

Jim Nox: Kenneth Garrett - DE
This guy is pure muscle. Pure muscle is good. Nice speed for a Defensive End. Enough to keep contain and get sacks. Well trained tackler. Rock solid player is just what they need. A great fit here, both in terms of need and quality.

Pick 9: Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Larry Moore: Odell Davis - QB
Every team would benefit from his leadership. Raised to know the value of teamwork. What can I say? The guy loves to win and it shows on the field. He understands defensive schemes. Receivers need to be on their toes because he throws hard. A player that fits their needs. The promise of a future star. This will be great for the franchise.

Jim Nox: Pablo Walker - DT
His leadership is through the roof. He is on the frontline, always. He helps everyone get in the right position, making the team run as a well oiled machine. Dominated using his strength in college. In the pros he will face fully grown men, but he should be up for the challenge. They should not be afraid to fill a need here. He will start day one. Quality pick right here.

Pick 10: Arizona Cardinals
Larry Moore: Kenneth Garrett - DE
Amazing strength for the position. Makes him versatile, and tells of his high ceiling. You need to stay on him, or he will turn the edge on you. Teams want Defensive Ends that keep Offensive Tackles honest. Reliably takes down ball carrier when he gets to him. He addresses a need for them.

Jim Nox: Seth Shull - DE
Known for showing up early and staying late. Sportsmanship, love of the sport and respect, is what you get with him. He takes care of his teammates.

Coaching Carousel Predictions.

The offseason is upon us and that means teams are shaking up their coaching staffs. This means that we get to take our annual look at coordinators who could make the leap to become headcoaches, and the teams who are likely to poach them.

The prime candidates identified by our experts are:
Curtis Jones - Defensive Coordinator - Indianapolis Colts
Don Everett - Offensive Coordinator - San Diego Chargers
Mitch Martin - Defensive Coordinator - Green Bay Packers
Mack Conrad - Defensive Coordinator - Atlanta Falcons
Wesley Ridgeway - Offensive Coordinator - Philadelphia Eagles
Mark Livingston - Offensive Coordinator - New York Giants
Robert Lucero - Defensive Coordinator - Tennessee Titans
Ronald Nelms - Offensive Coordinator - Detroit Lions
Cary Whittle - Offensive Coordinator - Atlanta Falcons
Charles Caban - Offensive Coordinator - New Orleans Saints

As always, we are prone to wild speculations, so we asked our inhouse experts to do a little matchmaking between candidates and teams. Here is what they came up with:

Mary Moore:
Mack Conrad leaves the Falcons to become the headcoach for the Buffalo Bills.

Darren Francis:
I think the Lions lose Ronald Nelms and I see him heading to Buffalo Bills.

Jim Nox:
The Falcons cannot hold on to Mack Conrad. I would like to see him coach the Carolina Panthers.

Jeremy Piper:
Mack Conrad is certainly on the move. That means Falcons will need a new coordinator. As for where Conrad ends up? Well, I think Buffalo Bills is a good bet.

To Micheal Crooks - C, the past is the past.

Micheal Crooks is a great story, having worked his way out of a troubled youth. To many, Crooks is becoming a posterboy for the league's ability to help talented young men rehabilitate themselves through sports.
