So what do we have today? Well, a number of interesting developments. For one, Dee Milliner is starting to disappear from mock drafts: he's only mentioned in five of 53 mock drafts, and most of those are two weeks old or older. Milliner seems to have been penciled in as a top 10 pick and out of the Bucs' reach. Not surprisingly, this has pushed up Johnthan Banks, who continues to take up a significant portion of all selections, but Xavier Rhodes is an interesting second. There seems to be a real battle for the second cornerback spot between those two players.
Here's something else that may be a little surprising: while cornerback shows up, a lot, defensive tackle is the second-most frequent position. It was selected 11 times, and if you add the 5 mentions for defensive ends we get to 16 -- while cornerbacks were mentioned 31 times. This is both a reflection of the Bucs' weak depth at defensive tackle, but also a reflection of the quality at defensive tackle. The fact that Star Lotulelei is mentioned twice is intriguing, but Johnathan Hankins has a better chance of being the Bucs' first-round pick.
If you want to compare these results to last week's mock draft database, here's the link.
