The Bucs are looking for weapons on offense for Josh Freeman and though I was a little torn with this pick, I love Dexter McCluster. I've been talking him up all year and now he's starting to get noticed a bit more with his incredible Senior Bowl practices.
I told virtually all of my friends, back before the middle of the season, that Dexter McCluster is better than Percy Harvin was a senior at FL. I still hold true to that statement. Even though he's a small guy he's very tough and has amazing hands. The Bucs would be able to use him as a receiver, RB, return man, you name it, McCluster can do it. Figured he'd be a nice addition to start building this team with Caddy, Freeman, Winslow and Stroughter.
I love McCluster! Was really hoping he would fall. Nice addition to the TB roster!
Dexter McCluster is also from around this area. He went to Largo High School. I actually played against him 3 times in the span of 2 years.
There have been plenty of WR studs past the first round, a couple that come to mind...
Greg Jennings.... 2nd Round...
Vincent Jackson... 2nd Round...
Brandon Marshall... 4th Round...
Marques Colston... 7th Round...
Miles Austin... Undrafted FA...
Wes Welker... Undrafted FA...
Thats the thing. McCluster isnt JUST a WR
I think Roddy White was a 4th rounder. I am not saying that there are no stud wideouts taken in rd 2. I am saying that MCLUSKER is not a Rd two WR.
And what I'm saying is... teams thought Brandon Marshall wasn't a 2nd round WR and now they will pay first round for him.
