Lions, Raiders Help Out Bucs
November 23rd, 2009
While the Bucs defensive line looking more like a team Joe sees on a Friday night than he expects to see on a Sunday afternoon, there were teams helping out the Bucs in the long run.
No, they weren’t offering their castoffs as Bucs starters up front. But they were winning.
With the Lions and Raiders pulling out wins yesterday, it left the Bucs tied with Cleveland and St. Louis for the worst record in the NFL and the coveted spot of possessing the first pick in next spring’s NFL draft.
Even, with tiebreakers, the Bucs finished tied with Cleveland and St. Louis and have the third pick in the draft, the Bucs have a good shot of landing a defensive lineman.
The Browns really have no talent at the offensive skill position spots while St. Louis has drafted defense the past couple of years with their first pick, including a defensive lineman.

after finally getting to see him play a few games, i change my wishlist from eric berry to the dt from nebraska. ndamukong suh here we come!
oh and i’d love to see steve white compare some DT prospects, maybe gerald mccoy, suh, and carlos dunlap? i watched the nebraska – oklahoma game a few weeks ago and came away much more impressed with suh than mccoy, but I would love to hear an expert’s opinion.

I second that. Please Steve White, will you?

If you look at Steve’s blog after the nebraska/kansas state game, you may be surprised about who Steve might be leaning away from this draft.
We’re lucky to have this combination of JoeBucsfan and Steve White to look at every day.

Larry:
Joe thanks you for the compliment and Joe’s confident Steve White does as well.
