Can anyone here play linebacker?
Going into the NFL draft, it was generally agreed that inside linebacker was among the Bucs' biggest needs. Sure, Lavonte David was back, but whoever was going to play next to him?
Now that the draft is complete, well, the Bucs are still taking applications for the job.
Sure, there is Anthony Walker, who the Bucs picked up from Miami. And there is SirVocea Dennis, who was hurt much of last year. But the Bucs didn't draft anyone in the draft to compete,
Oh, the team did draft some intriguing prospects. On Sunday, the team picked David Walker in the fourth round and Elijah Roberts in the fifth. It finished up by dafting reciever-returner Tez Johnson of Oregon.
It was a good enough draft to give fans some hope. First-round pick Emeka Egbuka was seen as a value pick in some places, insurance against Chris Godwin's return in ohteres.
After that, the Bucs flooded their secondary (Benjamin Morrison and Jacob Parrish) and their pass rusher (Walker and Roberts).
Oh, the team could sign an undrafted free agant, or perhaps an insigned vet.
Either way, you have to wonder: Are the Bucs done?
