The Buccaneers are talking with at least three teams about moving back in the first round, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com tweets. They may even look to trade out of the first round altogether, he adds.
Currently, the Buccaneers are slated to pick at No. 19 where they have been widely connected to FSU running back Dalvin Cook. In a deep draft, it’s a good place to be, but the Bucs want to dive even deeper and garner more selections. Both the Giants (No. 23) and Texans (No. 25) may want to trade into the teens, so both teams would make sense as potential trade partners for the Bucs. Speculatively, I’d say that the Giants are probably targeting an offensive tackle while the Texans may be positioning themselves for one of this year’s top quarterbacks.
If the Bucs move down, Texas A&M defensive back Justin Evans may be among their targets.
I hope the Giants don’t trade up in this draft….. There’s too much talent out there to lose draft picks…..
I’m an eagles fan, but I agree, it would be bad for you guys
If the G men do trade up, I hope is isn’t for an O lineman.Wouldn’t mind to see a tight end or a linebacker as their pick
