Open Thread: The 2nd Round of the NFL Draft is under way....

What: 2008 NFL Draft
Where: Radio City Music Hall, New York
When: 6:40PM Est Time (Round 2)
Here we are, its FINALLY Draft Day!! I have no clue what todays events will bring. All I can say is I hope the Bucs inject speed and athleticism into this offense whether it be through the first, second, or third rounds. I've got my fingers crossed for a DJax or Jenkins Drafting, but to be honest, so long as we get a burner, i don't care if it comes in the form of a DJax, Donnie Avery (thanks PR), Devin Thomas, what have you. I'll be thoroughly disappointed if we don't get some electricity for the offense, because this draft allows for that beyond the 1st round... At any rate, hold on tight because we're in store for a loooong day!!! It could be three hours before the Bucs make that first selection!!

I hear the Bucs are interested in James Hardy.....

i'm praying
I definitely think we got a shot at a contributer to the offense but it could go either way.. if they lose out, i think i'll vomit

Like whoah! Check this out from Stephen Holder....
Posted by Michael David Smith on April 26, 2008, 7:08 p.m.
Stephen Holder of the St. Petersburg Times reports that the Miami Dolphins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers may have already agreed to a trade that would send veteran defensive end Jason Taylor to Tampa.
The trade would apparently send the Bucs' second-round pick (52nd overall) to Miami, in exchange for Taylor, the 2006 NFL Defensive Player of the Year who has reportedly said that he would like to finish his career somewhere other than Miami. It is not clear whether any other picks would be involved in the trade.
Taylor has two years left on his contract and is scheduled to earn a combined $17 million in those two seasons, so it's likely that the Buccaneers would want him to restructure his contract, but there has been no word about such an agreement being reached between Taylor and the Bucs or any other team.
When asked about a potential trade, Buccaneers coach Jon Gruden was noncommittal, saying, "There have been some trade rumors and I don't think we're any different than anybody else. When you're talking about high-profile players, we're going to pick up the phone and see what's going on. It's part of our job."

Mike Tirico "Have you heard from any West Coast Teams"
Brohm "Me and Jon Gruden had a good chat, they seem to like me down there"

at least we dont play
i cant be overly pissed at the bucs though.. they took a gamble and who wouldnt with clearly one of the elite Corners on the board and they just barely lost out on DeSean... they probably would have passed on him anyway

Maybe Talib will play WR while Wilson and Buchanon share time at CB, hah!

I'm confused.....
by TheUltimateBucFan on Apr 26, 2008 8:14 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Seiously.....
Only thing I can think of is that Gruden really wants Brohm and thinks he'll be there or maybe Ray Rice will be available. Very strange draft for me.

I knew we'd change spots in the 2nd, but.....
by TheUltimateBucFan on Apr 26, 2008 8:21 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
there's still good value at wideout
i think the bucs pass on a receiver here with the 58th pick
