If NFL.com's Pat Kirwan is correct, might the Bucs have Tennessee defensive end Robert Ayers in their crosshairs?

If one is to believe Pat Kirwan of NFL.com, the Bucs greatest need is not a quarterback nor a defensive tackle.

NFL.com has a warroom of sorts which breaks down each team’s needs. No, Kirwan doesn’t think a defensive tackle or quarterback is warranted for the Bucs in the first round, though he does explain how the Bucs do need an upgrade in each (and other) positions. Kirwan believes a left defensive end is the most pressing need.

Gaines Adams made strides last season and is becoming a real threat as a pass rusher on the right side, but he will struggle to remain productive without help. The Bucs need to upgrade the left end position in order to create a pressure package that will force opposing offenses to balance their protections.

If Kirwan is correct, might the Bucs be fortunate to have a guy like Tennessee defensive end Robert Ayers slip to No. 19?
