With The 20th Pick In The NFL Draft The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Select...

DP's Pick:
Akeem Ayers, LB, UCLA

With all of the DE's practically off the board the Bucs select a LB. The passed two years the Bucs selected 2 DT's so getting a physical specimen such as Ayers is a must. He should be able to shoot the gaps as well as be decent in cover. He's also a great tackler so that's always a plus.

BMack's Pick:
Ryan Kerrigan, DE/OLB, Purdue

There are some questions if Kerrigan is an every down DE, but he is a sack machine (12.5 sacks last year), and that is something the Bucs need terribly after ranking 30th in the NFL in sacks. On top of that he led the country in tackles for loss, so he knows how to shed blocks and get behind the line. Very solid pick by the Bucs here, and somewhat of a steal if he falls this far.

With The 18th Pick In The NFL Draft The San Diego Chargers Select...

BMack's Pick:
Akeem Ayers, OLB, UCLA

I have really gotten high on this kid over the past couple of weeks. He is fast, and a freak of an athlete. I wish the Patriots would land him, and hopefully they will. Anyways, the Chargers need an OLB and this guy fits perfectly. Ayers will give them the pass rusher they have been missing since Merriman went off the juice. I see him as a 3 down LB, because he has a lot of experience in coverage, along with his pass rushing skills.
