NFL Draft Day Three, Open Thread
April 27th, 2013.jpg)
OK boys and girls, the third and final day of the NFL draft is upon us.
The Bucs need some players at positions not including quarterback, safety, offensive guard and running back.
How about a defensive tackle?
How about a defensive end?
The Bucs could sure use a pass rusher of some sort.
Joe doesn’t believe the Bucs need a punter.
Let’s hear what you have to say, and as always, do behave.

In Major League Baseball, stud pitchers get pulled all the time if they are having a bad game.
Do they cry about it and lose all confidence? Noooo.
So when Freeman gets pulled for the deer in the headlights look, he should take it like a man, like MLB pitchers.

mornin’
April 27th, 2013 at 12:09 pm
Afternoon! Let’s see some more great picks today! Revis, Banks and Glennon is a good draft so far.
April 27th, 2013 at 12:10 pm
Well, I’m looking at the DTs remaining and I’m not seeing anyone that stands out as a pass rusher.
Jesse Williams will likely be gone.
Everett Dawkins DT/DE is an option…allows us to have depth at two positions.
Brent Russell DT maybe?
April 27th, 2013 at 12:10 pm
theres still some good players left like
TE Dion Sims
LB Kasheem Green
hopefully we get one of them
April 27th, 2013 at 12:11 pm
Dear Santa,
I have been a very good boy this year and I would very much like some D Line help please!!!!!!
April 27th, 2013 at 12:12 pm
Cornelius is exciting to me
April 27th, 2013 at 12:12 pm
I say go Chase Thomas, OLB
April 27th, 2013 at 12:12 pm
Bucs traded up and are on the clock.
April 27th, 2013 at 12:13 pm
Trade up for Jesse Williams… oh that would be heavenly.
April 27th, 2013 at 12:13 pm
We just traded up!!
April 27th, 2013 at 12:13 pm
C’mon Khaseem Greene
April 27th, 2013 at 12:13 pm
We traded up!
April 27th, 2013 at 12:15 pm
DT!! There you go you bunch of whiners. You got your DT.
April 27th, 2013 at 12:16 pm
Noooooo
April 27th, 2013 at 12:16 pm
I thought Spence might be on or radar. Not much of a pass rusher, though. Maybe he can be groomed.
April 27th, 2013 at 12:17 pm
Yeah…and he isn’t even the best DT on the board. Sigh. No pass rush ffrom him at all.
This was a depth pick, nothing more. The Bucs can’t be sold on their current starter in Millers spot.
April 27th, 2013 at 12:18 pm
I dont know nothin about the guy. Welcome to tampa though. Glad we still got our 2nd 4th rounder
April 27th, 2013 at 12:18 pm
please dont tell me we traded our other 4th round pick to move up
April 27th, 2013 at 12:18 pm
Ugh…. We should have taken Greene
We prob could have taken Greene now and still taken this kid with the other fourth
April 27th, 2013 at 12:20 pm
Roy Miller 2.0. I dont get it
April 27th, 2013 at 12:20 pm
They traded a 6th
April 27th, 2013 at 12:21 pm
Gorgeous cheerleader?! Anyone know her name?
April 27th, 2013 at 12:21 pm
I’m with you PRBucFan. Greene is better.
April 27th, 2013 at 12:21 pm
Bucs dont seem to be looking for pass rushers… that’s for sure. I guess they are satisfied with Bowers and Clayborn bringing the pressure and McCoy disrupting the middle.
April 27th, 2013 at 12:21 pm
Cheaper and most likely less injury concerns than Miller
April 27th, 2013 at 12:22 pm
the bucs are getting the players they want/like and moving to make sure. it doesn’t matter to them what others think, especially nobodies on here. 🙂
April 27th, 2013 at 12:23 pm
Good thing we don’t care that they do care than huh? Lol 😉
April 27th, 2013 at 12:26 pm
Lol just incase you didnt notice… all the players you are wanting, the Bucs arent the only ones who are passing on them… so as far as being “better” goes, we will have to wait and see.
April 27th, 2013 at 12:26 pm
Scary thing is the best pass rushing DT left on the market is Sedrick Ellis, and he isn’t good for more than 3-4 sacks per season.
Still, unless a trade is in the works, the Bucs should sign him before someone else does.
April 27th, 2013 at 12:26 pm
Hope Greene is still there with the second pick in the 4rth…. Mornin everyone.
April 27th, 2013 at 12:27 pm
Oh and my first guess was CB, DT, LB, TE, OT, SlotWr
April 27th, 2013 at 12:28 pm
Yes Couch Fan, only time will tell which players should have been picked.
April 27th, 2013 at 12:34 pm
Seems clear to me that the Bucs are all about depth in this draft, except for Banks.
April 27th, 2013 at 12:34 pm
dammit there goes Dion Sims
April 27th, 2013 at 12:41 pm
On the bright side, Dominick moved up 12 spots for only a 6th rounder. Was a great trade.
I wonder…do the Bucs foresee certain players being released as a result of days 1 & 2 and figure to get starters then?
April 27th, 2013 at 12:48 pm
The Bucs dont need starters. They need quality depth. People want big names at every position. Thats not how it works.
April 27th, 2013 at 12:48 pm
Could be Bonzai…. There was a column floating around that discussed the Bucs being big players in the second round of free agency after the draft.
April 27th, 2013 at 12:49 pm
Gutted we have no seventh round pick, would have loved us to take a punt on Lawrence okoye as a pure pass rusher.
April 27th, 2013 at 1:01 pm
Couch Fan Says:
April 27th, 2013 at 12:48 pm
“The Bucs don’t need starters.”
You are mistaken. Having starters does not mean having big names at every position, but they do have to have the ability to start at the very least. We are getting no starters from the 3rd round on.
We came into the draft needing a minimum of two starters…CB and DT. We got one.
LB would have been nice as well.
Drafting for depth is not about getting subpar guys. You want to get potential starters so that if there is an injury, it doesn’t affect the end result.
April 27th, 2013 at 1:02 pm
Pit got Big Ben’s eventual replacement a few years down the road.
April 27th, 2013 at 1:13 pm
Too bad Kasom Greene is gone….. Hope they’re thinking Poyer at CB next.
April 27th, 2013 at 1:15 pm
Okay, coming up I think there are a couple options:
OLB Chase Thomas
My main preference. He is good at getting sacks, a good hitter. Best OLB left on the board and I had him in my mock in this round. The problem is, will he fall to us and is there a point to even hoping to get him the way the Bucs are choosing?
DE Brandon Jenkins
Adds a pass rush threat in DE depth…in case there is an injury. Replaces Bennett.
A RB for depth might be good. Maybe Patton at WR…though he is a sideline WR so would likely be depth.
April 27th, 2013 at 1:22 pm
I kinda wanna see them take Marcus Lattimore. Sure its a throw away pick but if he comes back close to what he was he and the Dougernaut are a lethal combination.
April 27th, 2013 at 1:24 pm
Cool, at least one of my two guys will be there. Course, I doubt the Bucs will take either, lol.
April 27th, 2013 at 1:25 pm
Green Bay leaped above us?
April 27th, 2013 at 1:25 pm
bucrightoff, I could live with that pick.
April 27th, 2013 at 1:30 pm
ohhhh! A toy for the offense.
April 27th, 2013 at 1:32 pm
There we go now the DLine is set
April 27th, 2013 at 1:32 pm
Gholston is solid, pass rush depth obviously can’t hurt
April 27th, 2013 at 1:38 pm
Yeah, Gholston is a beast… Just needs to be consistent.
April 27th, 2013 at 1:44 pm
Bubye Greene ..
April 27th, 2013 at 1:45 pm
Gholston looks like Tarzan…hopefully plays like Simeon Rice after some good coaching.
April 27th, 2013 at 2:04 pm
Anyone else having trouble with the website using FireFox?
April 27th, 2013 at 2:05 pm
I like the Gholston pick. DE Depth is good.
April 27th, 2013 at 2:37 pm
i think atl wanted gholston but we took him. i also think the we might have wanted the rb, franklin, that gb took before us.
April 27th, 2013 at 2:40 pm
hello (hello helllo hellooo hhello)
April 27th, 2013 at 2:42 pm
DE again…
April 27th, 2013 at 2:45 pm
Means will probably be an OLB in the NFL.
