Kiper: Bradenton represents in first round of draft

Mel Kiper, Jr., speaks, so let us listen.

ESPN’s draft guru reveled his mock draft Monday and it looks pretty good for a pair of Bradenton cornerbacks.

Kiper has Lakewood Ranch High product Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie going 10th overall to the New Orleans Saints and former Southeast High standout Mike Jenkins going 20th to the Bucs.

It will be interesting if that holds true.

Players from Manatee County have been drafted before, even as high as the first round. Peter Warrick of Southeast was the fourth overall pick in 2000, going to Cincinnati.

But we’ve never had two go in the first round, and Kiper said two weeks ago on a conference call that both are certain first rounders.

The Bucs could use a cornerback, so it would be great if they took Jenkins or Cromartie.

The draft is April 26 and 27.

Stay tuned.
