“This Is Where You Build Championships”
May 2nd, 2015
Don’t think Rounds 4 through Rounds 7 mean much?
Think again.
Hall of Fame general manager Bill Polian was just all fired up on ESPN talking about how the these rounds and comprise one-third of a team’s roster.
“This is where you build championships,” Polian said.
There is no question depth and finding a starter or two in the late rounds in critical. It happens every year, just not very often with the Buccaneers. Tanard “Bongs” Jackson was a hell of a rookie safety in 2007, on what was the NFL’s No. 1 ranked pass defense.
There are always plenty of gems, if your personnel department is good enough to find one.
Think of the three strong years the Bucs got from mattress-in-the-yard, blade-in-the-thigh receiver Mike Williams, a fourth-rounder in 2010. The Bucs also got strong play from seventh-rounders Sammie Stroughter, Cody Grimm and Erik Lorig during the Dominik-Raheem era. Jermaine Phillips was a hell of a fifth-round safety in 2002.
C’mon, Bucs. Find an undervalued stud or two.

Really Bill Polian? I think QB is the way ask any club. He missed more picks in this area of the draft than Bruce Allen. That’s just TV chatter. If true then we are dead, last years class did ZERO for our 2-14 Bucs

We don’t know how to work a draft board
