He was a magician in last years draft funny that 3 BUCS made the list and yet Morris Claiborne the one everyone was aching and predicting the BUCS to draft did not. Just saying snagging Barron, getting Martin and David was quite a haul and a risk. Many saw Barron as a reach. The only thing that could’ve made it better was landing a good corner in there. Maybe Leonard Johnson blossoms next year. Excited to see what Dominik/Schiano do this year in Free Agency and the draft.

I would have liked to see more out of the later picks…Goode, Tandy and Smith….not to mention the reminder of the Fluke ( future grocery store ) Stocker whiff…. But then again-I’m one greedy bastard.

So many possibilities!

We could do so many things in this draft, because we have so many NEEDS.

The TE from Notre Dame, Eifert, was their best player in the National Championship. He stayed with the Alabama talent. He is an NFL caliber player. He is very athletic, and strong. Anybody see him willing his team to a few first downs? Dragging Alabama DB’s? He is the real deal.

But it would be a HUGE reach to take him at 13. Trading back into the first to take him at the end of the 1st? Definitely a great move! But I just dont see TE as a big part of our offense anymore.

I think we could definitely add a CB and a solid FS in the first 2 rounds. Or a pass rusher and a some DB.

I really dont know! I just hope we take a risk on Tyrane Mathieu or Denard Robinson or Michael Dyer.

Imagine drafting Miss. St. CB Banks and LSU Eric Ried at FS in the 1st and then take his old teammate Mathieu in the third?? We would instantly have a solid defensive backfield! With 3 rookies who could grow together!

This year I see us taking either Eifert or Werner in the first, then trading back into the end of the first for a CB, taking another CB with our second, and the 3rd will depend on whether we let Bennett walk in free agency. With the four DEs we have, when healthy, I don’t see us needing a DE. We got decent pressure on the QBs when our CBs weren’t open from the snap.

NO WAY does he take an OL in the first. As Joe pointed out. 4 full drafts and he’s taken one lineman, Jeremy Zuttah in the 3rd round, that’s it. He doesn’t like drafting lineman. He wants to have seen them at the professional level and evaluate them off that. Donald Penn, Jamon Meredith, Demar Dotson, Ted Larsen…all really good finds he pulled out of the abyss.

I hope you are referring to the 1980′s version of Eddie.

I really hope that we can get one of these tight ends one that would put this offense over the top.

This year will be another haul. It will be either a OT or a DL in the first round and then guys who they have hand picked from there.

Luckily for the Bucs this draft is deeply talented in OL and DL so we should get an impact player in the first and from there Dom and Schiano can hand pick like they did last year.

I think if there are sliders on the board we could trade down again which I would be thrilled about.

But anyways, i’ll state my point, (please excuse my typos, i have fat fingers, heheh.). anyways, Here’s what the buccaneers need to do in this 2013 draft. We need a at least 2 cornerbacks to water down the terrible odor of our current cornerbacks failure. We need a couple offensive and defensive lineman to better protect Josh Freeman and rush the other team’s passer. We need A serviceable or at least decent quarterback. We don’t need a star. So no Johnny Footbal Manziel. Just look at Brad Johnson, he was a decent or at best slightly above average quarterback, but he could make textbook passes and avoid pressure. What made them score so much was that the 2002 Buccaneers had McCardell and other great wide recievers. And he didn’t panic when the ball was snapped. That’s the quarterback we need. Other than that we just need a better defensive and offensive system that won’t leave after 1 or 2 seasons. That’s why we can’t win. Imagine every year having to learn 50-100 new plays and codenames for them and totally forget the previous coordinators plays. It would drive you mad!! So calm down and think about how the players feel now. Let the manager and head coach develop this team. And don’t fire Greg after 2 years too. heheh

Now I don’t understand what the rules of the draft are. I’m 15 and very intelligent, but I still haven’t grasped the rules of it yet, can someone please explain this ” trading up and down” i’m hearing about?
