Don Banks of SI.com predicts (this week) the Bucs will draft Darrius Heyward-Bey in the first round. Joe isn't so sure about selecting the Maryland wide receiver that early.

Joe has a confession to make: Even though Joe mocks mock drafts, he’s still a sucker for them. So Joe will often post mock drafts he sees until the NFL draft in late April, if only to mock them.

The first one Joe has run across is from former Bucs beat writer Don Banks of SI.com. This week, Banks predicts the Bucs will draft Darrius Heyward-Bey from Maryland.

The Bucs could use another pass rusher or help in the interior line, so homestate product Everette Brown, an explosive edge rusher from Florida State, could be the choice. But with Joey Galloway’s age and Michael Clayton’s potential free agency, Tampa Bay could also stand another receiver opposite Antonio Bryant.

There are areas of much greater need with the Bucs than wide receiver, so long as the Bucs lock up Antonio Bryant. Banks’ first thought was accurate: the Bucs primary needs are, in order, defensive line, defensive line and defensive line.
