The latest CBS mock has us taking a Guard at 12 (Isaiah Wynn) and a Tackle in the 2nd round (Brian O'Neill). Vea should be considered, but I'm not sure he's a must-grab. CBS has him going at 17. If I knew we'd get serious in FA with the o-line, sure get Vea...but I'm assuming we'll mainly use the draft to fix things, so I want o-line, o-line, o-line.

No shiny prospect is going to change my mind on that.


1. This is reading an awful lot into one incident in Tampa. Did he have a bad reputation in Washington? He spent 5 years there, so I doubt he was very cancerous.

2. $3 million isn't a lot, and FA hasn't even begun. As jaded as I am, I don't think they're done with FA. I don't see any $8-10 million dollar-ish signings coming unfortunately, but it wouldn't surprise me to see another signing for $3-4 million and maybe some cheap reclamation signings sprinkled in. We'll see.

3. I don't think he's a sub-par player. He's an upgrade from Phat Sims and definitely an average player at least, with potential to be impactful. He showed that in Washington. That's why the Bucs signed him to a contract for 3 years, $15.75 million just last year. You don't get a contract like that for being a bum.


Lol same here. This thread has me feeling like Denny 2.0. 


Agreed. This guy is our starting DT the moment he signs.

Am fine with Wynn at 12 and really want either Nelson who will be gone, Edmunds or Wynn in that order if available. 

Most say it is too high for Wynn at 12 but would be happy myself. 

Would be ecstatic if Bfines mock was right and we got Edmunds in 1st and Wynn in 2nd. Not sure either lasts that long though. 

Yet praying he is right. 

But would take Wynn in a New York minute if other two are gone.
