Walter football mock has claiborne falling to us

I WOULD MASTURBATE FOR DAYS!!!!!

I see no way Minn, TB, and Jax all pass on him but crazier things have happened. Wow, taking him and we automatically have to be considered winners of the draft.

Dear God, please

I have fallen in love with mo. I'm hoping he somehow dosent impress in the combine and this happens but I just don't see Him making it to us. Would be a great great Day for me and panther nation if we did select him.

christ if that happens.....

With as many cheap RB's on the FA market, he thinks TB will invest pick number 5 on a RB?

Do not understand that thinking. What makes this Richardson the greatest back in our lifetime to merit the #5 pick in a pass happy league? First back to go off the board last year was in the twenties.

Don't see it.

I agree, I highly doubt it happens but it's not entirely impossible. TB has NOTHING at RB, and T-Rich is way better than any RB in the 2011 draft. Also, there are a ton of other good cb options Tampa can look to in round 2. Alfonzo Denard, Stephon Gilmore, etc

I just read his mock, he makes a decent case. Still a long shot however, but stranger things have happened in the draft. I think key is Jacksonville if they take Wright over Claiborne, proves new ownership is still stupid as previous owners.

I've thought this for some time. Fwiw, this poll from the Bucs board has them taking(most fans wanting) Richardson. http://www.bbs.tbaybucs.com/index.php?/topic/13555-with-the-5th-overall-pick-in-the-2012-nfl-draft/ Clearly the Bucs will not-not take Richardson just so that we don't get Claiborne, but if they even have half a brain they should see that we'd be standing from the dugout, ready to step into the on deck circle, and ready to knock this completely out of this world and send all of us into a state of absolute euphoria. I hope Walterfootball and this meaningless poll are right!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!

It's kind of bittersweet this draft. If the Bucs take Claiborne, then we'll get some other stud but have to deal with a true shutdown corner for the next half-decade at least. If the Bucs take Richardson, then we have to deal with a duel-threat badass RB against our poo defense for the next half-decade at least. Win-win and lose-lose.

[Floppin]

Our defense will not be poo for a decade.

Mehhh... I want someone from App

This could move him(richardson) back a bit, who knows

Would be sweet but the Buc and Jag picks are unlikely me thinks.

The Bucs literally hired LSU's Defensive Backs coach this evening..Ron Cooper..known as one of the better recruiters in the SEC and one of the best, if not the best, DB coach in America.

I guess churning out Peterson and now Claiborne back to back opens opportunities.

What sucks though is that it increases the Bucs chances of taking Claiborne..unfortunately.
