A few weeks ago the consensus among analysts was that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would select Miami tight end David Njoku with the nineteenth overall pick. It made sense: he’s a rare talent, fills a need for the Bucs, and is likely to be available at their pick.
The last week or so, though, the consensus has shifted toward running back. And to Florida State’s Dalvin Cook in particular. On Friday, Mike Mayock told the press in his conference that he thought the Bucs should target him. And ESPN’s Dan Graziano wrote yesterday that the Bucs’ ideal scenario would be having a group of running backs to choose from.
