When it looked like the Rams and Lions were going to take the 2 DT's, this pick looked a very difficult one for the Bucs. They feel that they have their QB of the future Josh Freeman, so that counted out QB Jimmy Clausen. Their OL is quite set, so should they spend the pick on one of the OT?? The other option would have been S Eric Berry, which may well have been their best option, but with their main need being DL, it was a shame to miss out on Suh and McCoy. It now looks very likely that the Rams are going to take QB Sam Bradford, leaving the Lions to select 1 of the DT's, and leaving 1 open for the Bucs. The Rams choice to go QB is a massive bonus for the Bucs, who now look likely to get a top quality player, in a position that is a big need.

It is slightly worrying that a team with such a poor record last year, has so few picks in the draft. This though shows just how much the Redskins seem to over commit on deals that they want done. A strange decision they have made to me is to bring in RB Larry Johnson, to team up with Clinton Portis. Now they have 2 older RB's, with poor injury records. Surely they must draft a RB at some position in the draft, but I think any RB at pick 4 is a huge reach. This means that the selection is between QB (Jimmy Clausen), OL or S (Eric Berry). Both Clausen or Berry would be good pick ups here, but do you really know what current QB Jason Campbell has done wrong in that really poor offence, behind that pourous OL? Do you really think Clausen will be able to do any better?? I don't. I believe that if the Redskins want to move forward, the only way to go is to get the best OT on the board. This player will probably be Russell Okung from Oaklahoma State.
So that is the preview for the Buccanneers and the Redskins, next up are the Kansas City Cheifs and the Seattle Seahawks.
