Which would make it totally illogical to address it last…

Dominick may find the easiest thing to fix the defense is to create a better offense. If Freeman can start and finish drives. It would naturally make the defense better by virtue of not being on the field as much. The offense needs far less to becoming great vs the defense which needs work everywhere.

While it’s a possibility that an OT is drafted, I highly doubt that is who will be selected with the Bucs 1st round pick. As Joe alluded to in his post, Mark Dominik has stated that he prefers to see O-linemen perform at the NFL level before committing to them. http://www.joebucsfan.com/?p=78529

Thus, I think that a OT will be signed in FA, hopefully Vollmer, Beatty, or Albert. My guess is that the first pick will be a DT, CB Millner, or S Vaccaro.

I don’t think Dominick will pass up this golden FA opportunity to upgrade the Tackle position. I wouldn’t be surprised if he drafts Fluker (if there) in the first round too. Not 1 but 2 big tackles for the O line. Penn is doing great but he is going to be 30 soon.

Honestly I would rather us draft a player that’s going to make an immediate impact and not one that will be making his starts in 2 years but I get what y’all are saying.

We have some needs right now that must be met

Im on board with Johnson at 13. I really think Bowers will beat this thing with minimal impact. But pass rush is a bigger need and I’d still rather us get Werner or Ansah than going OT if either one of them is still there. If they’re gone and Johnson or Fisher is still there, get em.

Hey Joe: What do you think of this random “nutty” thought?

Please note I feel signing a CB and drafting one in the 2nd round is BUCS best option.

Draft an OT in the 1st round and let them play RT and then in a year or 2 switch to LT and replace Penn or move Penn to RT, he’s probably better suited there due to his small arms. Lane Johnson (possibility) or Eric Fisher (doubtful to be there) would be great picks. Also if the best player in the draft (ALA Mike Mayock) Chance Warmack is available why not draft him? I know we have Nicks and Joesph (who is one of my all time favorite Bucs), and from a strictly business move it makes a lot of sense, Davin is coming off an injury and make a lot of money, why not draft his possible replacement in Warmack. If Nicks or Davin aren’t themselves due to injury with have their replacement, younger and a fraction of the cost. Davin is on of classiest people to ever wear a bucs uniform and I wouldn’t ever want to see him leave, but if Warmack is there the bucs have to draft him. Davin did play LT in college not sure he could move to RT or not, hes not as nimble as an OT is, both players are guards for sure, moving either to new position would be difficult at best. But purely from a “business” aspect of football its a no-brianer. What are your thoughts? BUCSNATION thoughts??

@ TampaBayTaylor

that’s a good idea, I like where your heads at. plus drafting Johnson at 13 to play RT would be cheaper than to sign a RT in free agency.

@ Bucfan4life

your right, even though he had a bad game against a really good team, I also am not going to crucify Banks over 1 game and am still open to drafting him at 13. I will probably go back and watch some more games from him to properly judge him. My comments where more towards not drafting Fluker because I thought it was appropriate to add it in to a post that talks about what to do with our RT situation. but seeing is how everyone is talking about freeman from a post that was supposed to talking about RT, I guess I can bring up anything and get away with it.

^^^^^^ I don’t know but beating our heads in over it ain’t helping. This year we hope, if not we will have a new QB in 2014. But he ain’t going nowhere till then.
