McCown needs his chance, & if he flops, look at drafting a QB in 2010 (& I'm like Gruden, I am a Tebow fan--not a Gator fan either).But I like Luke. I think he will do OK. As the local Jags' writer says, I like taking big guys early--there are only so many of them on the planet.They tend to have high success rates, too, (unless Tony Dungy is drafting them (Kenyatta Walker; Marcus Jones & Regan Upshaw (same first round!); Jason Odom; Kenyatta Walker; Cosey Coleman, etc..)Corners seem to do well too, & that is where the value in this draft is starting to look good, at #19. Trading down is my preference, if the Bucs can find a buyer. Second round players are fiscal bargains, & a lot of good players have been chosen there in recent years. In particular, this seems to be where the "sledgehammer" DTs are in 2009. Whew-- a lot to type for me!! I agree 100%.
