Tyson Jackson On His Way To Tampa Bay?

Nolan Nawrocki of ProFootballWeekly suggests the Tyson Jackson will be wearing pewter and red instead of purple and gold this fall.

Nolan Nawrocki of ProFootballWeekly suggests the Tyson Jackson will be wearing pewter and red instead of purple and yellow this fall.

Like many NFL observers, Nolan Nawrocki of ProFootballWeekly.com believes the Bucs need to upgrade their defensive line. In his mock draft, he has the Bucs selecting LSU defensive end Tyson Jackson in the first round.

With Kevin Carter entering what may be his final year, the Buccaneers have a mentor in place who could help groom Jackson into the rock they need on the left side to stop the power “0” and improve their run defense. Many league insiders have suggested the Bucs could be hesitant to ever draft another LSU defensive lineman after they had problems with Booger McFarland, but the Bucs do a good job of maintaining their poker face about their draft intentions.

Joe isn’t so sure a left defensive end is needed that much, but he wouldn’t lose sleep over it. (Joe, unlike Nawrocki, also knows Kevin Carter is a free agent).

Defensive tackle is where the Bucs need to upgrade, but Joe doesn’t want to see the Bucs make a reach for one either. If the Bucs truly feel Jackson would upgrade the defensive line, fine.

    Joe are you serious?

    If the Bucs chose Tyson Jackson before Peria Jerry or Knowshow Moreno that’s a SERIOUS mistake.

    As regarding the mock draft you linked to I find it hard fetched that B.J. Raji would fall to pick #15 but man would it be tempting to trade up to that spot for B.J.!!!!!

    This writer also predicts Knowshow falling to pick #31 – NOT!
