draft (x-denotes early entrant):OFFENSEQUARTERBACKSPosition outlook: This is a quarterback draft. There could be as many as six taken in the first round and five in the first 15 picks. It's not crazy to come up with a scenario where four quarterbacks are taken in the first five picks.x-Sam Darnold , 6-3, 220, USCStrengths: Excellent arm, good size and can make accurate throws — or the occasional positive run — when the pocket breaks down. Works his progressions.Weaknesses: Ball security. Ball security. Ball security.Fact: His grandfather, Dick Hammer, was an Olympic volleyball player and an actor who played the Marlboro Man.Gone by: Pick No. 3.x-Josh Rosen, 6-4, 226, UCLAStrengths: Polished passer with excellent mechanics and nice touch.Weaknesses: Durability issues in college. Will force plays unnecessarily.Fact: Was an elite youth tennis player.Gone by: Top five or so.Baker Mayfield, 6-1, 215, OklahomaStrengths: Accuracy, competiveness, and command of the offense. Gets the ball out quickly and decisively.Weaknesses: Undersized. Elusiveness and mobility that was a plus in college might not translate to the NFL.Fact: Went from walk-on to 2017 Heisman Trophy winner. Plus, had two other top-five Heisman finishes.Gone by: Pick 15.Josh Allen, 6-5, 233, WyomingStrengths: Arm strength, athleticism, size.

Might not be a three-down back.Fact: Set an SEC record with three career 250-yard games.Gone by: Middle of second round.x-Ronald Jones II, 5-11, 200 , USCStrengths: Darting, tough runner who finishes runs by falling forward.Weaknesses: His style at that size could limit him in NFL.Fact: Broke Charles White's USC freshman rushing record in 2015.Gone by: Late second round.Others to watch: Nick Chubb, Georgia; Rashaad Penny, San Diego State; Kerryon Johnson, Auburn.WIDE RECEIVERSPosition outlook: No first-round locks, but expect at least one or two to go on Day 1.x-Calvin Ridley, 6-0, 189, AlabamaStrengths: Game-breaking speed and explosive out of his cuts.Weakness: Slender. Can he play through contact at the line?Fact: Surpassed 1,000 yards receiving as a freshman, but limited passing game by Alabama held his numbers down in 2016 and '17.Gone by: Top-25 pick, likely first receiver taken.Courtland Sutton, 6-3, 218, SMUStrengths: Big, physical red-zone target.Weaknesses: Possession receiver-type speed.Fact: Was recruited as a defensive back out of high school.Gone by: A need-and-fit pick who could slip to third round.x-D.J.

Better pro day. Difficult to predict when he goes. Late Round 1? Day 3?Tyrell Crosby, 6-5 , 325, OregonStrengths: Gets good push off the line as a run blocker.Weaknesses: Pass protection technique could land him at guard.Fact: A foot injury cost him much of his junior season or he would likely already be in the NFL.Gone by: End of Day 2.Others to watch: Martinas Rankin, Mississippi State; x-Brian O'Neill; Pittsburgh; Chukwuma Okorafor, Western Michigan.GUARDSPosition outlook: Not a position that NFL teams see as great draft value, but the top players here are probably better prospects than the top tackles.Quenton Nelson, 6-5, 329, Notre DameStrengths: Maybe the most likely to succeed of any player in this draft class. Powerful, tenacious and sound.Weaknesses: Not much to complain about. Could do better at getting off the line and getting to second level.Fact: Watch Nelson block and expect to see plenty of defenders being pushed to the ground.Gone by: Pick 10. And that would probably be about five picks too low.Will Hernandez, 6-2, 345, UTEPStrengths: Quick feet for a massive and powerful player.Weaknesses: A little short in height and arm length.Fact: Four-year starter.Gone by: Top-40 pick.Isaiah Wynn, 6-3, 313, GeorgiaStrengths: Good athleticism and attitude.Weaknesses: Power to drive defenders off the line could use improvement.Fact: Played left tackle last season and did it well, but that height makes him an NFL guard.Gone by: Versatility gets him off the board in top 75 picks.Others to watch: Braden Smith, Auburn; Wyatt Teller, Virginia Tech; Austin Corbett, Nevada.CENTERSPosition outlook: A few low-risk prospects who could step into starting roles right away.Billy Price, 6-4, 312, Ohio StateStrengths: Very strong.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers returned to practice on Thursday afternoon, in preparation for their week three matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football. Defensive coordinator Mike Smith spoke to the media following the teams practice. The Buccaneers did get some positive news today on the injury front regarding both Vita Vea and Brent Grimes. In regards to Vita Vea, it is unclear whether or not he will play this weekend, but Smith is confident in his ability to make an immediate impact. “Oh absolutely. Vita’s a big man. He’s going to demand four hands on him,” Smith said. “If they try to put two hands on him he’s going to be a guy that’s going to be able to get penetration into the offensive backfield. We’re just waiting for the word where he can get out and help us.”On the other side of the spectrum, Grimes declared himself 100% today and is excited to return to the field on Monday. Mike Smith is also looking forward to getting his top cornerback against the games best receiver. “It’s going to be great to have him back today first – out there on the practice field – and getting him reacclimated to playing football. He’s a very good defensive back that is going to make us a better defense, so we love having Brent out there,” Smith said. “He knows and understands the game and he’s going to help the other guys as well because he’s a guy that really studies and understands splits, and how people are trying to attack us.”Tampa Bay is off to a great start and the Steelers are coming in to Raymond James Stadium desperate for a win. With the drama surrounding the Steelers right now, you can make the argument that this is a must win game for them. Mike Smith knows the Steelers will be ready to go come Monday. “I think when you don’t get the outcome you want in the previous week, it ramps up your desire. I don’t think it matters if you were a playoff team or you were a team that was in the middle of the pack. Guys in this league are super competitive – we don’t like to lose,” Smith said. “I can assure you that Coach [Mike] Tomlin is going to have those guys ready to go when we play them on Monday night. I hate to say underwhelmed, overwhelmed – when we go play the team that didn’t get the outcome they wanted the previous [week] they got a little something in their neck.”There was no question that the overall defensiveperformance improved from week one to week two for the Buccaneers, but the pass rush is what was noticeably improved. “I think the biggest progress that we made as a defensive football team was that we were a lot better in our pass rush and putting the pressure on the quarterback. We got to him three times and we hit him about a dozen times,” Smith said. “That was probably the biggest thing. It was a lot of individual effort, but it was also a group of guys that were working together in terms of knowing what each other was doing and being assist-men for each other.”If the Buccaneers want to get to 3-0, the pass rush will need to step up again or Big Ben will shred this defense apart.
