Your 2012 draft targets?

[lazoran]

I know its probably a little to early to be talking about this but who are you targeting to be a buc after the 2012 draft?

My absolute favorite player is Vontaze Burflict.. This guy is a monster. The closest thing that will be coming out in years to a Willis or Lewis but I really don't think he will last to where will be drafting.


This guy is a man among boys


Manti T'eo Notre Dame Another solid linebacker prospect

Michael Brewster C OSU

Those are some players that stick out in my mind.. Not real familiar with next years class yet tho. Anybody have anybody they are interested in or like coming out next year?

[The Anti-Java]

Its tough to say right now, before free agency, IF there is free agency.  But without naming names I would say O-line, LB, and possibly WR.  I know Mike Williams is a stud, but this season I need to see how Benn and Briscoe pan out. I hope we are set at WR for years to come. But I want to see those guys in a full season.

You named three that I will be keeping a close eye on throughout this next season.  A couple of CB's I'll watch are Dre Kirkpatrick  and Stephon Gilmore.  That, of course, is assuming we don't sign Aso.

Doug Martin

i want an MLB next year either Manti Te'o or Vonataze Burflict, i think Burflict could be something really special in our D and bring that swag back. And i have a mancrush on NIgel bradham from Florida state he plays with a ton of energy and has all the talent in the world.

[Feel Real Good]

Trinton Sturdivant Georgia

He tore his knee again.

[Detrimental]

Don't think Tampa takes the next step. I think we'll go 8-8, 3rd place JUST in range for Burfict or Te'o. Then in 2013, explode into the scene. History repeats itself, it'll be like how the young Bucs in 97 surprised people, had a decent season in 98, and then BOOM 99 we exploded. I see it happening again.

[AlstottUpTheGut]

And don't tell me we have enough D ends, I believe that you can NEVER have enough pass rushers.

I would be happy with this.

[lazoran]

What are the chances we trade up to get Burflict in next years draft? I can see that guy being our main target. He brings the energy and swag to the middle of the defense that fans want.

[Skull and Bones]

theres no guarantee Burflict or Teo will even declare.

[lazoran]

Obviously but usually those prospects do more then not.. I also see Pryor as a possibility coming to this team. Josh Johnson is going to be a FA. Pryors stock will probably drop and we may be able to get him on day 3. He brings the same assets as JJ does and could probably be a valuable back up.

[Detrimental]

Most linebackers that have a lot of buzz typically declare because they are ready to play. Te'o is more likely to stay for his senior year than Burflict. I say that from a personality stand-point. Vontaze isn't the type of guy to stay when he's ready, Arizona State isn't winning the Pac-12 anytime soon. Te'o plays for Notre Dame so it'll be hard pressed for us to think he will declare. I was shocked when Michael Floyd stayed after destroying DB's this past year.
