2012 Outlook: Solid/Safe Pick

Last updated on Aug-20-2012 by George Bissell

The Buccaneers drafted Doug Martin in the first round of the NFL Draft with the hope that he would challenge LeGarrette Blount for the starting job. Martin, who rushed for 1,000 yards with double-digit touchdowns in each of his final two collegiate seasons at Boise State, appears to have overtaken Blount for the starting job in the pre-season and should have an immediate impact as a rookie. The Buccaneers significant upgrades to their offense with the additions of All-Pro guard Carl Nicks and wide receiver Vincent Jackson make Martin is an excellent sleeper candidate in all fantasy leagues this season.

2012 Mock Draft Results

Month	Position	Franchise/Comments
MyFantasyLeague Expert Draft May 2, 2012	5.11	TheFFGhost
2012 Experts Mock Draft (June) June 6, 2012 - June 25, 2012	5.03	CBSSports.com - Glad I went with Thomas with my last pick looking at the run on receivers. This pick is a toss-up for me between Martin, Bush and Turner. I'll go with the upside of Martin and hope he lives up to the hype.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (July) July 16 - 27	3.09	TheHuddle.com - There's enough talent remaining at the other positions I can reach a bit for Martin, who I am very high on this season given the new coach and upgraded o-line in Tampa.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (August) Aug 14 - 24	3.01	TheHuddle.com - It's a bit of a reach for Martin here, but there's no way he makes it back to me at the 4/5 turn so if I want him I need to jump now. I have visions of Martin running wild behind Carl Nicks while LeGarrette Blount works his way into Greg Schiano's doghouse.
