TAMPA — Of all the questions to be answered in next week's NFL draft, the largest for Bucs fans is likely this: Will Tampa Bay draft a running back early and move on from Doug Martin?
Much of that centers around the Bucs' first-round pick, No. 19 overall, and which of the draft's consensus top three backs — LSU's Leonard Fournette, Florida State's Dalvin Cook and Stanford's Christian McCaffrey — will be available when the Bucs are on the clock. Most speculation has Fournette gone in the top 10, perhaps to division rival Carolina at No. 8, but the other two, both prolific runners for successful programs in college, could easily still be around at 19.
