Hey Bruce and Jon,

Here is my wishlist for this off-season's activities (draft and free agency):
2 wide receivers (speed not size matters here and think outside the box - take a look at track stars as walk-ons in training camp)
(make Clayton a tight end)
1 center
1 interior defensive lineman - the meaner the better
1 middlelinebacker
1 or 2 safeties
1 running back - here size does matter. We need to do better in the red zone and need someone to bull their way into the end zone (ala Mike Alstott)

With next year's tougher schedule, we need to get tougher and faster. I want a repeat at South Champs and another trip to the Super Bowl !!!

This is the best opportunity to have a stellar off-season that you have had since you got here - don't screw it up!!!

Keep your eye on Dantrell Savage, especially if you're thinking Pittman is leaving because of his new agent.

Adarius Bowman is back from injury. He's not the fastest guy in the world and my thought is he'll drop because of it, but you won't find a better teammate, harder worker, exciting guy with good hands and an excellent blocker. (Sounds like Clayton's rookie year I know)

But both could be steals in later rounds.

And I'm trying to not be prejudice to my Oklahoma State boys.

take a look at track stars. That's funny. That has never worked. They tried that this last training camp. Gone in first cut.
Remember they must catch, run precise routes and block besides running straight ahead.
Clayton is not big enough right now to be a tight end.

Yes, Love the pic of my OSU boy Savage on a Bucs site!
My world's collide...heaven. LOL

I hope you write up more about him even though you didn't list him on one to watch like you did the other OSU alum Adarius Bowman.
