With the 20th pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected cornerback Aqib Talib from Kansas. The Buccaneers know that Ronde Barber is getting older, and taking Talib here ensures that they have a viable replacement for him when he retires. Still, I thought this pick should've been a wide receiver. The Buccaneers really seemed to want Calvin Johnson last season, but the Lions selected him second overall. Jeff Garcia made due with really only having Joey Galloway as a receiver last season. Addressing the receiver position, considering they already have a talented defense, is the most viable option for the Buccaneers in round one.
A guy like DeSean Jackson could've done exactly what Jon Gruden likes to see in a receiver -- make something happen after the catch. With his lightning speed, Jackson could've also doubled as a punt returner for Tampa Bay, providing a spark for an aspect of the game that the Buccaneers have been incredibly weak in.
