Silver Lining - Draft

[Bucs N Beers]

Tampa loses and some crappy teams win. Updated records are as follows:

Oakland 2-10
Detroit 2-10
*Airzona 3-9
Tampa Bay 3-9
*Houston 4-8
*Cleveland 4-8

*Won today

The way I have it, if we picked today we'd pick 4th. However, IMO, I think it's very possible we move higher. Picking #1 overall is actually not out of the question either.

yep you are right on. Cleveland will beat us at Cleveland, Atlanta appears to still be showing some fight, the seahawks will be playing for the playoffs, the bears will kill us (you think today was bad)...There may be one win in there but no more than one.

3-13 boys!

cant wait for all this to be over

Joe Thomas here we come

OAK and DET were so close today, too.  I was really pulling for them.

There is not a lot of top 5 talent in this draft.  If the Bucs do end up with a top 3 pick they should trade down for a 10-15 pick and an extra 2nd rounder.

Yeah but now you know why they are the top 2 teams in the draft. One of those suck teams will take Quinn I think and, if we can hold serve, we get whatever is left between Gaines Adams and Joe Thomas and I'll be smiling 'til September.

I'd be happy with Adams, Thomas or Branch.

After looking at the schedule, these 3 games look the most like they could put a swing on things.

Week 14 - Minnesota Vs. Detroit
Week 15 - Detroit Vs. Green Bay
Week 16 - Arizona Vs. San Fran

sounds good in theory, but saying it and actually doing it are two different things.  you need to find a partner to trade with.  if there isn't enough top 5 caliber talent in this draft, why would someone pay the very expensive price of trading up with us?  it would cost a team multiple day 1 picks to trade up into the top 5. 

That's excellent, because we all know...you play for draft picks.

I'm not confident that whoever in the Bucs orgization does the homework on draft picks will come up with the right picks.

I disagree completely.

ADW, what have we seen from them that would make you completely disagree?

Name the "poor talent" drafted.
