That sounds good on paper, but when you come to the realization over the past decade the Draft Picks have been extremely sub par and can point directly to the past 3-13 season. These High Draft picks include Michael Clayton, Sabby Piscitelli, Gaines Adams, and my personal favorite Dexter Jackson.
The Bucs are going into the draft with many needs to fill mainly Defensive Tackle, Safety, Wide Receiver, Defensive End, and Linebacker. The top two draft picks look like it will be Ndamukong Suh and Gerald McCoy which really hurts the Bucs. The wild card could be if the Rams decide to reach and take a QB at the number two spot and we can steal one of the prized DT's!
That leaves us to the obvious choice of Eric Berry at the 3rd selection, to team with Tanard Jackson which creates a very dynamic duo of play makers. Eric Berry is compared by many to Ed Reed and a player like that I believe you cannot pass up. Also, if you take into account the atrocious season by Sabby Piscitelli it becomes a no brainer.
We have two second round picks and if available I would love to see the Buccaneers pick up WR/RB Dexter McCluster. He would bring a dynamic to the offense the team has not seen since the first stint of Warrick Dunn. It would give Josh Freemen to have that check down guy and have a player who can bring explosiveness to this offense.
With the Bucs having ten draft picks in this years draft and not going to be active in free agency it is imperative for at least seven of these players make a huge impact on the 2010 team. It would be a tremendous help if we can hit on another Sammie Stroughter type player in the seventh round.
With so many holes to fill and having the lowest attendance since the Sam Wyche era this maybe the most important off-season for the Bucs ever. Raheem Morris put all his trust in Josh Freemen and at times he showed he could be a franchise QB and at other times he looked lost. Only time will tell what the Morris era will look like in Buccaneers history.
