Its still early...but if we are looking at Defense End in the draft

[GameTime]

peppers, williams, watt...all 290 guys.  they might have excellent speed for their size, but abraham/aldon are 260 guys.

[RHBucsFan]

Peppers was a free agent a few seasons ago when we weren't spending anything. He would be nice coming off the edge for us.

Werner is 260 now and will get bigger. I think he is going to be the best DE in the entire draft.

[TampaBucks05]

I know I'll get some heat for this but I think we need to draft DT first this year followed by CB CB and S

I think we have shot our load on drafting DT's. Maybe it's time to try and get a free agent. McCoy is playing good but who knows when his arms are gonna fall of again. Drafting the best player available is also another option instead of limiting yourself to certain postions.

No we don't to draft a CB early however we do need a FS who is good in the passing game. I think Grimm should get some snaps in before determining that.

I think you could make a really strong case for it.  I'm reasonably happy with how McCoy has played, but the guys after him are at *least* as replaceable as any of our top 3 defensive ends.  This looks to be a fairly strong first round DT class.  A lot, of course, comes down to who's available where the team is picking.  But let's say a guy like Sylvester Williams is available.  (Probably not likely, but stranger things have happened.)  There'd have to be one *heck* of a value at another position for me to imagine the team passing on him.  (Barring something horrible coming out about him between now and the draft, of course.)

This is who I want if we go DE.

He is small listing at 241 and only had 6 sacks all year in the pac 12.. That isn't impressive but I haven't seen him play much with my own eyes.

He can add on weight, he's tall. Oregon ask him more than pass rush, they've even even used him to jam recievers.

He is fast and has a quick first step. Just don't know if that will carry him in the nfl if he only gets 6 sacks in the pac 12. Plus his team had huge leads all year which forced teams to throw.

[bucsquad]

I will say he needs more moves and some technique improvements but you have to trust the coaching staff to succeed in helping him that.

[mrjack535]

I think the Bucs should draft corners in the first two rounds.  Then go DE in the third.

[BaghdadJoe54]

If you go DE in first round, you assume you don't resign Bennett?  If so, why? 

I would rather have Clayborn, Bowers, and resign Bennett with a first round CB, or DT.  Heck, I rather have a speed WR/Returner than a DE considering Teo is a servicable #4.
