In Tampa, Donald could play the three-tecnhique spot and push Gerald McCoy to nose tackle, giving the Bucs four players capable of getting to the quarterback on the defensive line. No. 5 to Oakland is about as high we could see Donald going with his floor being No. 8 to the Vikings or No. 13 to the Rams.Related: BuccaneersSource: DraftInsider.net May 7 - 3:26 PM

Yuck! Aaron Donald at #7 makes no sense unless we're trading down. We already have a DT Gerald McCoy and Clinton McDonald on an already 15th ranked defense from last year.Gotta fix the offense on this team I don't buy it.
BREAKING: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers just drafted Pitt DT Aaron Donald with the 7th overall pick of the 2014 NFL Draft.
I'm a fan of Aaron Donald and would be very happy with the pick even though I don't see it as a need pick, he'd clearly be one of the best players on the board when we pick at #7. You need 3 to 4 good interior linemen in Cullen's version of the Tampa 2 front four and I suspect Donald would get a lot more playing time than some here suspect.That said, if Jake Matthews or Greg Robinson was on the board at the same time, I'd go with one of them over Donald as much as I think Donald is going to be a All Pro for years down the road. JMO.
taking Donald at 7 is just retardedsupposedly they want to put him at 3tech and move McCoy to NT. does this strike anyone else as insane? were going to take arguably the best DT in the league who has been an All Pro two years in a row at 3tech and move him to NT for a rookiewho in the hell does that? that is the definition of stupidity
@RCummingsTBO: "Former Colts GM Bill Polian says on NFL Insiders that Bucs will take DT Aaron Donald with 7th pick. Says they'll move G. McCoy to nose."Can you say, smokescreen?

+1 Couple that with the fact that McCoy is up for an extension. McCoy's totally just gonna start playing another position to lower his market value after being an all-pro? Good luck with all that. I'm not buying it.
One retard says we are gonna move McCoy to Nose and now it's "The Plan"? Lolz.Bill has been off his rocker for a few years now. It's why he doesn't have a job making decisions anymore. I was one of the first people to post that he mocked Donald to us because I like Donald....but lets be real. 90% of the stuff that comes out of his mouth is nonsense nowadays. I saw him yesterday on ESPN and he was being a senile old coot.
65 pages for a guy that has a less then 10 percent of bring drafted by us. Sheessh
I bet he is top three on our short list @ 7.
4:14pm Tony Pauline of Draft Insider reports that Tampa Bay Buccaneers ownership is pushing for Johnny Manziel, but new coach Lovie Smith hopes for Tampa Bay to draft Aaron Donald.
I'm sure Tony Pauline would be privy to that information....
Just puttting it out there JDouble with all the other crap being thrown on the walls at this point.
Oh I know man. Nothing towards you. Just saying Pauline is full of sh!t. I happen to think Lovie does want Donald....but to me this is the kinda crap that hack reporters throw out there before a draft. There is no way Pauline would be in on this information.
Push McCoy to NT , BwahahahA !!
