The Bucs are looking closely at Auburn T Marcus McNeill

[Gryphon]

That's who we have them taking in our Fantasy Sports Monthly Mock Draft (coming out in March). Since Chris Simms is left-handed, the right tackle position has greater importance for the Bucs.

Dallas picks before them. We might have our choice between Marcus McNeil and Winston Justice. Hopefelly one of them is a Cowboys next year.

I would love to have either one of those two. Jerry has said before that he would probably not go after O-line in the first round. In the past he has been pretty straight to the media in regards to personel descisions. By what he said while at the senior bowl I would expect for us to go linebacker or safety in the first round.

It could be a ploy. At least I hope so. I think McNeil and Justice have the ability to start as rookies and contribute immediately and for future years. We should be okay at linebacker with a resigning of Fujita and maybe picking up Akin Adoyele. Ware, Burnett/Adoyele,James, Fujita is not a bad linebacking core. We have much bigger problems on the Oline.

I have thought the same thing before. O-line is our biggest shortcoming right now and I think Mcneil could be the top lineman taken from this draft. Linebacker is our next priority but this is a deep linebacker draft and their should also be linebackers in free agency if we can't get one worthy of starting right away.

I think Mcneil could be the top lineman taken from this draft.

Furgeson is pretty much the consensus pick for best lineman.

I hope we beat them to it.

I think he is a little undesized.

 

[Hiero]

I think he is a little undesized.

He has the frame to gain weight. I see him gaining 20 lbs and at 315 that is the same weight as Walter Jones. He is going to be a pretty good player imo. Maybe a perennial probowler someday.

Winston Justice is a loser.
Soliciting prostitutes and brandishing firemans.

 

[Derinyar]

If JJ and BP say they aren't going to pick a position, I start thinking they might. The only franchise this year that I *might* believe when they say something about what they are picking is Houston.

I still don't think we go OT at 18.

Excellent point.
