What about S Eric Hagg from Nebraska?  I actually think he would be a nice fit in Tampa... I also like CB Curtis Marsh as a potential prospect in the 4th round.  I do like the list... If you list Jeron Johnson that you have to stick Shiloh Keo on that list.

[yuccaneers]

Everyone will have differing opinions on different prospects. There's really no right or wrong list. I just feel the players listed are the best fits based on my perspective. Now, you and everyone else who reads the list might add or subtract certain players for other players. Based on you perspective and preference.

[tatmanfish]

Id have to add TE D.J. Williams, and RB Da'Rel Scott, but everyone else looks good.

[Detrimental]

Justin Boeing Guard from Georgia

He might be our third pick.

[BucsBay]

I don't think you can completely rule out a power back for the Bucs. Everyone is pegging a third down type RB, but my personal opionion is that it is very rare to find a guy in the draft who can come in and be effective on third down with how complex it is to pick up the blitzes in today's NFL. I think we are much better off going with a veteran, whether it be Cadillac Williams, Reggie Bush, or even Tiki Barber for that role. Neither Cadillac or Blount are great on 3rd and 1, so finding someone who is could be a good move.

[Tampa-Two]

S Robert Sands from WVU?

[lazoran]

Surprised to not see Noel Devine or Da'Quan Bowers

I agree with your point, and you may be right, but your point also supports the idea of drafting a third-down back for developmental reasons.

Man I don't know about you people but I damn sure wouldn't  want my Q.B to be named after a automobile part..Ignoranus...

[Tampa-Two]

Surprised to not see Noel Devine or Da'Quan Bowers

But is Bowers really a potential target for the bucs?

He is a top 5 pick and i cant see us trading up 15 spots.

I have seen potential top 5 picks drop to 20.. or even to 15 for that matter and then a trade up would be likely. I just can't see how you can completely rule out someone in the first round because players have fallen before and if anybodys stock has been hurt in the last couple weeks it has been his.

[yuccaneers]

lazoran - While Bowers is an athletic specimen and defensive end is a huge need for the Bucs not sure he drops out of the top 10 even with his recent downward trend. The list is simply who fits the Bucs current scheme and players that could potentially be within reasonable trading distance  from where the team stands in each round. Of course my preference and subjectivity is factored in with who I think fits based on needs, talent and current schemes.

[Skull and Bones]

Yuc, I see you have two Richmond Spiders on your list.  Are you familiar with Eric McBride?  He's my friend nephew.  I talked to him yesterday and he said the Saints and Jets have both met with Eric so he might be a 7th rounder or UFA.  My friend can't believe these other two guys are rated higher than him because he was Richmond's best player.

[yuccaneers]

McBride has a decent size speed combo at 6-foot-1 2/8 and weighing in at 234-pounds. He put up decent numbers while playing for the Spiders with 6.5 sacks, 8 forced fumbles, 4 interceptions, 10 passes defensed, 23 tackles for loss and 322 total tackles. Many have him listed as a late round possibility or priority free agent type. In 2010 he was voted CAA Football Co-Defensive Player of the Year & AFCA Coaches First Team  All-American. In 2009 he was an CAA All First Team selection. In 2008 Voted as  College Sporting News All-American, CAA All First Team selection and VaSID First Team selection. In 2008 he was voted CCA Football Defensive Rookie of the Year. McBride also won numerous High School Awards in the Commonwealth of Virginia. He starred as a two way player in High School.

I think the consensus is that he might have reached his ceiling as far as untapped potential. He diffidently warrants a look by pro teams though and could become a star on special teams until he learns the intricacies at the pro level but could challenge in a year or two for significant playing time if in the right situation and scheme.
