With Free Agency and the Draft finally beginning to roll around, I decided that I want to bring back my daily Reports and Rumours threads I used to publish throughout the last off-season. Anyways, the thread will be divided into 4 categories; Bucs News, FA News, Draft News, and Other.

Also if any of you know a quick fix to this please let me know in the comments below. Thanks for the support!
Make sure the links (mini and otherwise) transfer over...Some of these are incomplete
Better passer than Wilson? Maybe. Sometimes Wilson's throws flame out. But he is generally a terrific pocket QB who has improvisational skills that allow him to beAt teams despite lackluster performances. Clutch. But usually improvising. Sound familiar?I know one thing, Manziel is even MORE creative than Wilson, and that says a lot. Wilson is awesome. A winner.

Thanks for the link..White is impressed with Mack, no surprise there... but see's him with a ceiling (albeit an above average one.) It was a good read.
Seems Mack gets all the more impressive the more I read about him.

Yup. Hype? The guy played some really really bad teams. Consistently as well. He is a specimen though. Just a warhorse.

True, but teams are mostly watching his games against quality opponents like Ohio State which he killed as well.
Problem with that is the sample size.He destroyed small weak schools. And he rarely played solid comp. Big deal for me. But he certainly looks the part. Like Vernon Gholston.
