Not an option but this would be a great situation for TB to trade back (With Philly to select Ruggs)

[THE DUKE]

Ideal spot to trade down with the top OT gone.

I went:

Kinlaw, BPA

Chaisson, best edge available

Henderson, best DB available

[BucShot]

I think the options for TB at 14 in this scenario are Kinlaw, Josh Jones, Swift, and Ruggs.

 

Kinlaw represents BPA, but with Suh signed and Vea present, IDL is hardly a need for 2020 and we are in win now mode.

 

Josh Jones represents the biggest need which is RT, and Arians appeared to rave about him during the combine citing an OL who dominated Senior Bowl drills as catching his eye.

 

Ruggs and Swift are the weapons who represent decent value but also fill a need to add a dynamic playmaker to feast on the lack of attention they will get with Evans/Godwin/Howard/Brate hoarding defensive attention.

 

Right now I'm leaning towards Ruggs. Imagine Ruggs in the Welker/Edelman role?

Bucs are in a bit of a tough spot here I think. Kinlaw is BPA clearly but not an immediate need, Ruggs is a similar thing. 

Jones is a need but this seems to be a bit of a reach, issue is can you trade back and still get him/ get someone like Niang/ Austin Jackson in the 2nd? Will be an interesting spot to watch

If the top 4 OT's are off the board I absolutely think they trade back.  They can move back 8-12 spots and still get one of Josh Jones or Austin Jackson and probably pick up anther 2nd along the way.  A third plus a day 3 pick at the worst.

Agree that that's what they should do, but I hadnt heard that Arians was so enamored with Jones like someone said earlier. Wouldn't surprise me to just see them pull the trigger here

[djw4bucs]

Kinlaw is #1 for me in this spot, i wish one of the top OT were there but considering the situation kinlaw is the play here.

Suh only signed for a 1 year and kinlaw could infact be his replacement soon, i wouldnt mind swift here or even love to learn under brady for the next 2 years but kinlaw will make the most impact now i believe. 

[Ragnarok]

I went Swift, Ruggs, Josh Jones.

They only have Brady for two years and need someone that will make the most impact from Day 1.  That's Swift imo.  

But like others have said, a trade back here would make a lot of sense.

[brownie man]

I went 

Ruggs

Kinlaw 

Josh Jones

Tampa fans do you all think you may trade up for a tackle?

I think if the browns trade for Trent Williams we might be a great trade partner for you

Ruggs makes no sense with the WR talent they have. Kinlaw is good but a poor need match. I went Swift, they need a good RB badly. 

[Calvert28]

I have a hard time believing they go defense with the first pick with TB on board. I would think a trade down here would make the most sense.

[DirtyDez]

Give Bowles a beast like Kinlaw
