I can live with that so as it has been mentioned Grimm will be a safety.

[Larry Brackins]

That's a typical Bucs picks. Undersized, athletic, FSU linebacker.

Fair, but man we've got some nice pieces to the puzzle on defense.
Should be fun to watch!!!

why did Watson fall all the way to the seventh?

4.5 - 40, 6'1" 240, athletic...all over the field for FSU and one of their few bright spots on defense...not complaining, just wondering

[Larry Brackins]

Anyway he can play in the middle?

Disappointing senior season with injuries and a suspension, but he is very athletic, plays a lot like Geno Hayes, they have almost the exact same scouting report. The depth in this draft and the fact that he is strictly a 4-3 weakside linebacker had him drop, just like Hayes.

I dont think anyone would complained if he was taken in the 4th round.

Strongly doubt it.

Why did so many other good players fall.

Because this is an extremely deep draft and teams liked others better.

Awesome!  This is a really great pick and we're very fortunate he fell this far.  I think we've got one of the steals of the draft here.

Negative, one of the knocks on him is that he isn't as stout as you would like.

THey really did do some homework on these late rounds...

I'm pretty impressed.
