2010 Cincy Jungle Mock Draft: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Select...

The only reason I have any doubts about this pick is not because of the player. I just don’t know if Raheem Morris is really any good as a coach. It looks like this is a young man who has loads of talent, but every college player needs to develop at the NFL level and I’m not sure he will fully flower under the current coaching regime.

This also comes into play with the scheme as well. Tampa plays a 4-3 and McCoy really is more of an upfield penetrator at this point in his career. While he no doubt could put on a lot of weight to play the NT role, I think leaving him as the under tackle is probably the smart move. But will that really help against the opponents’ run games? Early on at least he’ll penetrate but in the wrong spot and get washed out of the play, unless the coaching staff there teaches him how to do it right.

Then again, this is the Tampa Dismay Bumpkineers. They can suck from now to the end of time and it won’t bother me a bit. And we still need to get revenge on them for that game in 2006(?) when we lost on a phantom call so blatantly bad you’d think the ref had money on the game or something.
