The Bucs
were looking at cornerback and obviously
Gruden doesn't think that Talib's
off-the-field issues are a problem, but
most had him going in the second round
on their boards. It will be interesting
to see how he fits the Tampa-2 scheme.
He's big and physical. DT Dre Moore
could be a steal in Round 4, but
otherwise unimpressive unless Dexter
Jackson becomes an impact WR and not
just a return specialist. Not bad
players here, but not one single player
without some serious questions. The
ultimate boom or bust draft, they could
all be out of the NFL in three
years, or there could be a few solid
starters here.

Talib is one of the top cover-men in the nation and
is just an all around playmaker even getting some
action at wide receiver. Aqib is a big corner
with good speed and ball awareness who can be
electrifying at times and sometimes just completely
busts a play as well. A lot of upside with a little
bit of Dale Carter swagger in him.
