The Tampa Bay Buccaneers traded up into the first round to select the 2012 NFL Draft’s number two rated back in Doug Martin.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Draft Grades
7. S Mark Barron DHmmm, Mark Barron and a 4th round pick…or Morris Claiborne? That shouldn’t have been a tough question, but it was for the Buccaneers, who seem to have gotten it wrong. I know the Buccaneers had Barron higher than Claiborne on their board, but that’s ridiculous. Claiborne is a better player at a position of higher value. I had Barron in the 20s on my board...

“That’s the fun part of the draft, when you see teams move around on the board,” Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Mark Dominik said Saturday night, not long after wrapping up the three-day NFL Draft. “You do a lot of planning for all the scenarios, and then it takes patience and aggressiveness.”
