Right now the Bucs have two capable backs on the roster, Earnest Graham and LeGarrette Blount, I think the writing is pretty much on the wall with the rest of them. That beckons the question, how do you address the position? Are you looking for a talented back-up? Are you looking for a starter? Is Greg Schiano of the mindset that this is a two-back league or does he just want a feature guy?

As I said over the weekend, one of the questions Schiano faces on offense is what to do with LeGarrette Blount. The Bucs’ monster back is certainly capable of being a 25 carry back, but if Schiano doesn’t want to go that route, one guy who may be available at the top of the second round is Miami RB Lamar Miller.

Miller is one of my favorite runners in the draft, and could be the next great back in the Hurricane line.
