The Tampa Bay Buccaneers consider the 2010 NFL Draft the linchpin of the franchise's strategy to build a sustainable winner by restocking the roster with young talent. The Bucs have 11 picks, including three in the top 42, but the need to find impact players extends beyond the "premium" picks.

Greg Hardy

Position: Defensive end

School: Mississippi

Hometown: Millington, Tenn.

Height: 6-4

Weight: 281

Projected round: Third

40-yard dash time: 4.87

Key stats: During first three years at Mississippi, had 21½ sacks and 32½ tackles for losses despite starting only 13 games.

Notable: A potential hybrid who could add weight and play end or shed pounds and possibly play linebacker. … Originally projected to be a first-round pick, but questions about consistency has many believing he will be selected in the third or fourth rounds. …Missed the first three games of 2008 with a foot injury that required surgery, but finished the season with 8.5 sacks. …Missed final three regular-season games of 2009 after November surgery on a fractured left wrist. ...Tied for third on the team in sacks with 5.0 last year. …Had 16 tackles (11 solo), 6.5 tackles for loss, four pressures, three pass break-ups and a fumble recovery.

Quotable: "I'm versatile. I can play in a 4-3, 3-4, stand-up linebacker, hand on the ground pass rusher and run stopper - the total package, hopefully."
