Vols' Sears, McBride taken in second round
Ashland City Times, TN - 3 hours ago
Arron Sears is accustomed to being on the move.

During his Tennessee career, the only position on the offensive line he didn't play was center. He spent all of his senior season at left tackle, but is expected to make the transition to guard in the NFL.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers thought enough of Sears to use the third pick of the second round (the 35th pick overall) on him Saturday, making him the highest drafted Tennessee offensive lineman in 16 years.

"I'll play wherever they need me, the same as it was at Tennessee," said Sears, who won the 2006 Jacobs Trophy as the SEC's top blocker. "I feel comfortable at guard. I feel comfortable at tackle. It definitely helped being able to play both in college."

Sears got knocks by many scouts about his lack of quickness and athleticism, but he's a talented, experienced left tackle. I thought he was a potential first-round talent, so for Tampa Bay to snag him in the second round is a good value pick. What do you Vols fans predict for Sears' NFL career?
