Buccaneers Need to Make a Play for Philip Rivers If QB Is Available for Trade

If you're the type of person who likes rumors and speculation, then the weeks leading up to the NFL draft are like Christmas.

"Silly season" is a time when all sorts of potential draft-day storylines abound. In 2015, those storylines have focused on the draft's top quarterback prospects: Florida State's Jameis Winston and Oregon's Marcus Mariota.

Intrigue was added when speculation (there's that word again) mounted that at least one NFL team was considering dealing their own Pro Bowl quarterback to move up and snag Mariota. That talk has centered around San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers and the Tennessee Titans, who pick second in this year's draft.
