That has been rumored, and would be fine with me. There also has been talk of drafting a DE at #23 then moving up into the beginning of round 2 to draft Lutui or Mangold. The positions of DE, LB, or O-line are all fine with me. We need an eventual replacement for Rice. Many think Lawson is that guy, do we trade up? We need a successor for Brooks. Many think Sims is that guy, will he be there at #23? Tampa has had a history of taking 2nd, 3rd, and 4th round defensive picks and making them good starters or even probowlers. We have failed miserably at drafting offensive talent until Jon Gruden and Bruce Allen's arrival. A lot of Buccs fans feel no pressure drafting defense later, but feel the need to draft impact offensive players early.
