Doug Martin in the first two rounds -- yes or no? -- @KevinLeathley54 (via Twitter)

M.G.: Nope.

Oh, you want more? Okay. If you're talking about backs who'll face timeshares in 2014, Martin is chief among them. Buccaneers offensive coordinator Jeff Tedford has repeatedly said that he plans to rotate running backs in his scheme. What makes that even more likely is that Tedford's other options -- Mike James and Bobby Rainey -- were both very productive rushers when they had opportunities last year. Plus, Tampa could throw the ball more with its massive trio of Vincent Jackson, Mike Evans and Austin Seferian-Jenkins. Martin will still be the lead back in Tampa Bay's offense, but with the prospect of his touches being diminished, I'd target him in the third round or later.


Can't believe I forgot about Mike James after I picked him up mid-season last year. I'm glad I didn't jump on Martin in the 1st round last year. Too soon to tell what round I'll consider him in this year, but I'm hopeful to have other options in the first.
